Strategy and Business Trends
Our strategy for the Company is to continue to manage and operate the diversified businesses of our group of companies to create long-term growth of those businesses in order to maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders, and to pursue similar strategies and objectives whenby taking significant, active ownership stakes in new businesses.
Dun & Bradstreet. We believe that Dun & BradstreetD&B has an attractive business model that is underpinned by highly recurring, diversified revenues,revenue, significant operating leverage, low capital requirements and strong free cash flow. The proprietary and embedded nature of itsD&B's data and analytics solutions and the integral role that D&B plays in its clients’ decision-making processes have historically translated into high client retention and revenue visibility. D&B has had relationships with most of its top clients by revenue for more than 20 years, which reflects how deeply embedded D&B is in its clients' daily workflows and decisioning processes. D&B exhibits strong annual revenue retention rates and substantially all of its clients are recurring year over year. Dun & Bradstreet also benefits from strong operating leverage given its centralized databaseData Cloud and solutions, which allows itallow D&B to generate strong contribution margins and free cash flow.
Subsequent to our acquisition of an ownership stake in D&B in the first quarter of 2019, we worked closely with D&B to begin quickly implementing changes to address operational and execution issues at D&B that led to stagnant revenue growth and declining profitability over the last decade. We immediately brought in a new senior leadership team, which commenced a comprehensive transformation to improve and revitalize D&B's business for long-term success. The new senior leadership team

saw significant opportunity to create value by transforming the organization and improving the platform with new business unit leaders, enhanced technology and data, solution innovation and a client-centric go-to-market strategy.
D&B's transformation strategy is based on Bill Foley's proven playbook of enhancing stockholder value through organizational re-alignment and re-investment. Initiatives implemented at D&B upon its 2019 leveraged buyout have resulted in over $240 million of net annualized run-ratesignificant synergies and cost savings. In light of the changes that have been made or identified by the Company and D&B's management team, we believe D&B is well-positioned to execute on its strategies of driving stockholder value through consistent revenue growth, managing cost initiatives and innovating and improving the way it adds value and solves the increasingly challenging and complex needs of its clients.
Businesses rely on business-to-business data and analytics providers to extract data-driven insights and make better decisions. For example, in commercial lending and trade credit, the scarcity of readily available credit history makes the extension of credit a time-consuming and imprecise process. In procurement, businesses face increasingly complex and global supply chains, making the assessment of compliance and viability of all suppliers prohibitively difficult and expensive if not conducted effectively. In sales and marketing, businesses have benefited from the proliferation of customer relationship management, Marketing Automation and Sales Acceleration tools designed to help identify, track and improve both customer management and prospecting growth activities. While these tools are helping to fill sales funnels and improve the progression of opportunities, key challenges remain in salesforce productivity, effective client segmentation and marketing campaign activation. Common stumbling blocks include incorrect, or outdated, contact information, duplicated or inaccurate firmographic data and a lack of synchronization between the various platforms in the marketing technology ecosystem.
D&B helps its clients solve these mission critical business problems. D&B believes the total addressable market (‘‘TAM’’("TAM") in which it operates is large, growing and significantly underpenetrated.under penetrated. D&B participates in the big data and analytics software market, as defined by Interactive Data Corporation or IDC,("IDC"), which represents a collection of software markets that functionally address decision support and decision automation. This market includes business intelligence and analytics tools, analytic data management and integration platforms and analytics and performance management applications. Within the broader market of data and analytics solutions, D&B serves a number of different markets, including the commercial credit data, sales and marketing data and Governance, Risk and Compliance ("GRC") markets to provide clients with decisioning support and automation. As D&B continues to drive innovation in its solutions, it expects to address a greater portion of this TAM as new use cases for its data assets and analytical capabilities are introduced.
D&B believes there are several key trends in the global macroeconomic environment generating additional growth in D&B's TAM and increasing the demand for its solutions, including growing recognition by business of the value of analytics

Alight. There are many factors today impacting how organizations can succeed and thrive in the future. Employees are facing increasing complexity around healthcare and retirement, and the burden of additional financial responsibility from healthcare costs being shifted from employers to employees. We believe these trends have driven the need for integrated, personalized tools to help them make informed decisions.

We believe Alight is uniquely positioned between the employer and employee to address these factors to ultimately drive better outcomes for both.

We have a highly experiencedhighly-experienced management team that is focused on enhancing the guest experience at our restaurants and building team member engagement. We also utilize a shared service platform that takes advantage of the combined back-office synergies of our restaurant operating companies. Our goal is to maintain a strong balance sheet for our Restaurant Group to provide stability in all operating environments.
The restaurant industry is highly competitive and is often affected by changes in consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions; public safety conditions or concerns; demographic trends; weather conditions; the cost of food products, labor, energy and other operating costs; and governmental regulations. Higher labor costs due to state and local minimum wage increases and shopping pattern shifts to e-commerce and “ready"ready to eat”eat" grocery and convenience stores have had a negative impact on restaurant performance, particularly in the casual dining restaurants in which the company operates.
The restaurant industry is also characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses. Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales. The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature.
Recent years were a period of high inflation relative to long-term inflation expectations in the U.S. This inflationary environment primarily impacted the commodity and labor costs of our Restaurant Group. We have adjusted menu pricing to account for these cost increases to an extent, but will continue to balance the impact of inflationary pressures on costs with the value proposition offered to customers with a focus on long-term profitability.
Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.
Our revenues in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.
The Restaurant Group has undertaken a project to renegotiate or terminate leases and close O'Charley's stores with unfavorable store-level cash flow profiles. Through this process it closed 77 O'Charley's stores in the year ended December 31, 2023. We expect the process to generally reduce the future revenue and improve the future operating profitability of our Restaurant Group, however we cannot be certain of the precise financial impact as of the date of this Annual Report.
Black Knight Football. Football, or soccer, is the most popular sport in the world with billions of fans globally. BKFE’s football clubs compete in some of the most competitive and highly visible football leagues in the world. The Premier League estimates that over 3 billion people watch its matches globally. Sports is one of the last remaining forms of content in the media ecosystem that is consumed live, making it must-have content for advertisers. As a result, major sports properties, and in particular top global soccer leagues which have the highest global viewership, are experiencing continued increases in the value of their media rights as networks rely on live sports content to attract and retain audiences and advertisers. BKFE's football clubs share in these global media trends through central distributions from their domestic leagues.
BKFE is focused on acquiring and partnering with clubs led by executives with local expertise, proven track records for financial and on-field success, and clear operational fit within BKFE's network of clubs to help further develop and implement BKFE’s strategy. In addition to the significant involvement of the Company’s chairman, Mr. Foley, who is the general partner

of BKFE, the Company’s management team is extensively engaged in oversight of and working with BKFE management in helping BKFE implement its strategy. BKFE's strategy is to acquire, or partner with, clubs in top-tier leagues with valuable media rights and in countries with a history of deep player talent pools. Operating under this multiple-club model will allow BKFE to drive efficient player migration across its network of clubs, accelerate player development, and create operational, cost saving and commercial revenue synergies which we expect to give BKFE a competitive advantage over the long-term.
Top tier clubs in European football leagues earn significant revenues from revenue streams such as advertising and sponsorships, merchandise, and hospitality offerings. Most clubs competing in the top European football leagues, including BKFE's clubs, earn the majority of their revenues from media rights distributions from their domestic leagues. European leagues generally distribute their earnings from domestic and international media rights to each club and the distributions to each club are more lucrative the better the club finishes in its domestic league table. More recently, international media rights have become a more meaningful revenue driver in some of the largest leagues around the world, particularly in the Premier League. According to the Premier League, the value of its international media rights rose to $4.3 billion in the 2022-2023 season, which represents 44% of the total value of global media rights for all leagues. We expect the proliferation of streaming and other new media distribution platforms to continue to drive demand for international football rights as streaming services seek unique content to help differentiate themselves from their competitors.
BKFE aims to take a measured approach to investing in world-class infrastructure and top players, coaches and executive management for each of its clubs in order to improve on field performance, execute on opportunities around fan engagement and brand expansion, and create new commercial revenue streams for advertising and sponsorships.
Acquisitions, Dispositions, Minority Owned Operating Affiliates and Financings. Acquisitions are an important part of our growth strategy and dispositions, whichstrategy. We may dispose of assets when we expect will continue to be infrequent, are used when the Company identifiesidentify opportunities to re-allocate itsour capital to owning, managing, and operating new companies that provide our shareholders with prudent risk-based returns on their own investment in the Company.Cannae on a long-term basis. On an ongoing basis, with assistance from our Manager and outside advisors, we actively evaluate possible transactions to enhance the value of the companies we own, such as acquisitions of business units and operating assets and business combination transactions.
We primarily engage in various lines of business through long-term ownership together with control or significant influence of companies, though in the future we may seek to sell certain subsidiaries or other assets as part of our capital reallocation initiatives. Further, we may make acquisitions in lines of business that are not directly tied to, or synergistic with, our current operating segments. While we primarily own interests in companies that we controlscontrol or have the ability to significantly influence the operations of, we have allocated, and expect to allocate in the future, a smaller portion of our capital to minority ownership stakes in companies over which we do not exercise significant influence or have control.
There can be no assurance that any suitable opportunities will arise or that any particular transaction will be completed. We have made a number of acquisitions and dispositions over the past several years to strengthen and expand the service offerings and customer bases of our businesses, to expand or re-allocate our capital by acquiring significant equity ownership of other businesses or where we otherwise saw value.
Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. In 2020 and early 2021, we made investments in the sponsors of, and forward purchase commitments to purchase equity of, five SPACs. SPACs are companies formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

For SPACs seeking to consummate business combinations, represents Cannae's commitment as of the date of this Annual Report to purchase equity of the listed SPAC and its target upon consummation of each SPACs initial business combination.
(2) Listed SPAC is seeking a target as of the date of this Annual Report.
We believe SPACs are an efficient means for private entities to go public and a unique opportunity for companies to partner with sponsors who provide invaluable industry, operational and capital market experience. We believe our ownership in the SPACs sponsored or co-sponsored by Trasimene and led by our chairman Bill Foley provide an opportunity for Cannae to participate in the management, operation, growth and transformation of businesses with compelling characteristics similar to other of our management team’s prior business acquisitions, including those at Dun & Bradstreet, FNF, Black Knight and Ceridian. The sponsors intend to focus on prospective target businesses that have unseen potential for revenue growth and/or operating margin expansion with high recurring revenue and cash flow, defensible intellectual property and strong market positions within their industries.
The volume of total SPACs outstanding and in the market searching for business combination partners increased significantly in second half of 2020 and early 2021. We and our Manager are committed to finding quality businesses as business combination partners for AAI and AAII (collectively, our "Active SPACs") that meet our stringent criteria. Our Active SPACs have two years from the date of their IPOs to complete a business combination.
COVID-19. In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a national health emergency in the United States and worldwide. As a result of the unprecedented social restrictions related to COVID-19, our Restaurant Group brands experienced a significant reduction in guest counts beginning in the last two weeks of March 2020 and continuing through the end of the year. In response to the outbreak and these changing conditions, our Restaurant Group brands closed the dining rooms in substantially all of our restaurants in late March 2020 with substantially all remaining closed to dine in customers through early May 2020. During such time, most of our restaurants were solely operating to-go and delivery services in the jurisdictions where government regulations permitted restaurants to continue to operate and where the guest demand made such operations sustainable. We temporarily closed certain restaurants, modified work hours for our Restaurant Group employees and identified and implemented cost savings measures throughout our Restaurant Group operations.
Timing of reopening stores and resulting guest traffic has varied by jurisdiction. In the second half of 2020, our Restaurant Group experienced a gradual increase in guest traffic and revenues compared to the first half of 2020; however, the volume of customers visiting our stores remained below our historical levels through December 31, 2020. We experienced an increase in revenues from to-go and delivery sales from historical experience; however, comparable store sales across all of our restaurant brands remained depressed compared to previous years through the first quarter of 2021.
Coinciding with the first available vaccines for COVID-19 in December 2020, capacity restrictions on dining rooms began to ease in most jurisdictions in which our Restaurant Group operates. Furthermore, the U.S. government provided significant stimulus to consumers through direct payments to U.S. citizens. Through the first quarter of 2021, we were still operating a limited number of restaurants with restricted capacity. In light of recent spread of new variants of COVID-19, uncertainty remains regarding the continued rate of immunization in the public, timing of an economic recovery, and changed guest decision-making with regard to dining in restaurants. Through the year ended December 31, 2021, we experienced increases in same store sales compared to the corresponding period in 2020. However, same store sales remain lower compared to the corresponding period in 2019.
The COVID-19 outbreak and these responses have affected and, with the unpredictable impact of future variants of COVID-19, may continue to adversely affect our Restaurant Group brands' guest traffic, sales and operating costs. See further discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our Restaurant Group in the Results of Operations subsection in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report. See Item 1A of Part I of this Annual Report for further discussion of risk factors related to COVID-19.

Dun & Bradstreet. Dun & Bradstreet primarily competes on the basis of differentiated data sets, analytical capabilities, solutions, client relationships, innovation and price. D&B believes that it competes favorably in each of these categories across its business segments. D&B's competitors vary based on the client size and geographical markets that its solutions cover.
For Dun & Bradstreet's finance and risk solutions segment, its competition generally varies by client size. D&B has a leading presence in the enterprise market as clients place a high degree of value on ourD&B's best-in-class commercial credit database to inform their critical decisions around the extension of credit. D&B’s main competitors in the enterprise and mid-market include Bureau van Dijk (owned by Moody’s Corporation), Experian and Creditsafe in Europe and Equifax and Experian in North America. In the small and mid-size company market commercial credit health becomes increasingly tied to consumer credit health. D&B's competition in this market generally includes Equifax, Experian and other consumer credit providers that offer commercial data. Additionally, there is a fragmented tail of low cost, vertical and regionally focused point solutions in this market that may be attractive to certain clients, but lack the scale and coverage breadth to compete holistically.
For Dun & Bradstreet's sales and marketing solutions segment, its competition has historically been very fragmented with many players offering varying levels of data quantity and quality, and with data being collected in ways that may cross ethical and privacy boundaries. Dun & Bradstreet strives to protect the data and privacy of its clients and to maintain the highest standards in the ethical acquisition, aggregation, curation and delivery of data. D&B's direct competitors vary depending on use cases, such as market segmentation, digital marketing lead generation, lead enrichment, sales effectiveness and data management. In the market for contact data, D&B's competition generally includes ZoomInfo and a few consultancies building bespoke solutions. For other sales and marketing solutions such as customer data platform, visitor intelligence, audience targeting and intent data, D&B faces a number of smaller competitors.

Paysafe competes against all forms of payments, including credit and debit cards; automated clearing house and bank transfers; other online payment services, local alternative payment methods, and digital wallets; mobile payments; cryptocurrencies and distributed ledger technologies; and offline payment methods, including cash and check. Paysafe also competes against banks, merchant acquirers, and third-party payment processors.

Restaurants are increasingly competing with grocery stores who are expanding their offerings of quick serve, ready-made meals and meal kits and with meal kit delivery services, which have increased market share over the last couplein recent years. We expect to continue to compete in these areas.

Competitive Strengths
Proven management team. Our Board and executive management team, led by Bill Foley, has a proven track record of identifying, acquiring, managing and operating businesses. In particular, Bill Foley has led the creationgrowth of several multi-billion dollar companies with hundreds of acquisitions across diverse platforms, including, FNF, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.,FIS, Black Knight, Ceridian,Dayforce, D&B and D&B.FG. Our Board and executive management's breadth of knowledge of operational matters and capital markets allows us to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions, to structure acquisitions to maximize the value acquired businesses, and to return the value created to our shareholders through long-term profitable operation of those businesses and, when appropriate, dispositions. We believe the Externalization under the Management Services Agreement enhances our executive management team’s ability to provide these services.
Intellectual Property
Dun & Bradstreet. D&B owns and controls various intellectual property rights, such as trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and applications to the foregoing. These rights, in the aggregate, are of material importance to Dun & Bradstreet's business. D&B believes that the Dun & Bradstreet name and related tradenames, marks and logos are also of material importance to its business. Dun & Bradstreet is licensed to use certain technology and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by others, and other companies are licensed to use certain technology and other intellectual property rights owned and controlled by it. Dun & Bradstreet's trademarks, service marks, databases, software, copyrights, patents, patent applications and other intellectual property are proprietary and accordingly it relies on a combination of statutory (e.g., copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, etc.) and contract and liability safeguards for protecting them throughout the world.
Dun & Bradstreet owns patents and patent applications both in the U.S. and in other selected countries. The patents and patent applications include claims, which pertain to certain technologies and inventions that D&B has determined are proprietary and warrant patent protection. The protection of its innovative technology and inventions, such as its proprietary methods for data curation and identity resolution, through the filing of patent applications, is part of Dun & Bradstreet's business strategy. Filing of patent applications may or may not provide Dun & Bradstreet with a dominant position in the fields

of technology. However, these patents and/or patent applications may provide Dun & Bradstreet with legal defenses should subsequent patents in these fields be issued to third-partiesthird parties and later asserted against it. Where appropriate, Dun & Bradstreet may also consider asserting or cross-licensing its patents.
Alight. Alight's intellectual property portfolio is comprised of various copyrights (including copyrights in software) and trademarks, as well as certain trade secrets or proprietary know-how of its business. Alight's success has resulted in part from its proprietary methodologies, processprocesses and other intellectual property, such as certain of its platforms. However, any of Alight's proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may not provide significant competitive advantages.
Alight's business relies on software provided by both internal development and external sourcing to deliver its services. With respect to internally developed software, Alight claims copyright on all such software, registering works where appropriate. Alight requires all employees and contractors to assign to it the rights to works developed on Alight's behalf. In addition, Alight relies on maintaining source code confidentiality to maintain its market competitiveness. With respect to externally sourced software, Alight relies on contracts to allow for continued access for its business usage.
In the United States,U.S., trademark registrations may have a perpetual life, subject to continuous use and renewal every ten years, and may be subject to cancellation or invalidation based on certain use requirements and third-party challenges, or on other grounds. Alight vigorously enforces and protects its trademarks.
Paysafe. Paysafe relies upon a combination of copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, license agreements, confidentiality policies and procedures, nondisclosure agreements and technical measures designed to protect the intellectual property and commercially valuable confidential information and data used in its business in jurisdictions around the world. Paysafe seeks to protect its intellectual property rights by relying on applicable laws and regulations in the United States and internationally, as well as a variety of administrative procedures. Paysafe also relies on contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary rights when offering or procuring products and services. Paysafe has not applied for any patents in respect of its electronic payment processing systems and cannot give assurances that any patent applications will be made or that, if they are made, they will be granted. Additionally, it is possible that third parties, including its competitors, may obtain patents relating to technologies that overlap or compete with Paysafe's technology. If third parties obtain patent protection with respect to such technologies, they may assert that Paysafe's technology infringes their patents and seek to charge Paysafe a licensing fee or otherwise preclude Paysafe from using its technology.
Restaurant Group. We regard our Restaurant Group's service marks, including "O'Charley's", "Ninety Nine" and other service marks and trademarks as important factors in the marketing of our restaurants. In the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold our previously held "Legendary Baking" and "Village Inn" trademarks. We have also obtained trademarks for several of our brands' menu items and for various advertising slogans. We are aware of names and marks similar to our Restaurant

We license the use of our registered trademarks and service marks to franchisees and third parties through franchise arrangements and licenses. The franchise and license arrangements restrict franchisees' and licensees' activities with respect to the use of our trademarks and service marks, and impose quality control standards in connection with goods and services offered in connection with the trademarks and service marks.
Government Black Knight Football. BKFE's football clubs have service marks and trademarks which we believe are critical to the clubs' brand values and commercial revenues. BKFE's policy is to pursue registration of its marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of its marks.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these requirements may result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses or registrations, loss of approved status, private litigation, regulatory or governmental investigations, administrative enforcement actions, sanctions (including public fines), civil and criminal liability, public censures and constraints on Paysafe's ability to continue to operate, as well as potentially adverse effects on its brand and position with respect to competitors. It is also possible that current or future laws or regulations could be interpreted or applied in a manner that would prohibit, alter, or impair Paysafe's existing or planned products and services, or that could require costly, time-consuming, or otherwise burdensome compliance measures from Paysafe.

Item 1A.      Risk Factors
In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent in our industry and others of which are more specific to our own businesses. In addition to the other information set forth in this Annual Report and other filings we have made and make in the future with the SEC, you should carefully consider the following risk factors and uncertainties, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations in future periods. However, other factors not discussed below or elsewhere in this Annual Report could also adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. Therefore, the risk factors below should not be considered a complete list of potential risks that we may face.
Risks Relating to the Company'sour External Management Structure
We may become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We do not believe that we are subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “40 Act”). We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long-term. Our officers, the Manager and any employees who provide services to us pursuant to the terms of our corporate services agreement with FNF devote their activities to these businesses. Based on these factors, we believe that we are not an investment company under the 40 Act, including under Section 3(b)(1) of the 40 Act, and we intend to continue to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. If, at any time, we become or are determined to be primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, we could become subject to regulation under the 40 Act. In these circumstances, after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, we may be required to register as an investment company, which could result in significant registration and compliance costs, could require changes to our corporate governance structure and financial reporting, and could restrict our activities going forward. In addition, if we were to become subject to the 40 Act, any violation of the 40 Act could subject us to material adverse consequences, including potentially significant regulatory penalties and the possibility that certain of our contracts would be deemed unenforceable.
Certain executive officers and members of our Board of Directors have or will have interests and positions that could present potential conflicts.
Certain executive officers and members of our Board serve on the boards of directors of other entities or are employed by other entities, including but not limited to D&B, Trasimene, Alight, Paysafe, FNF, Black Knight or our Active SPACs.
As a result of the foregoing, there may be circumstances where certain executive officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to, among other things: (i) our ongoing relationships with D&B, Trasimene, Alight, Paysafe, FNF or our Active SPACs; (ii) business opportunities arising for any of us, D&B, Trasimene, Alight, Paysafe, FNF, Black Knight or our Active SPACs; and (iii) conflicts of time with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us. For example, from time to time, we may enter into transactions with D&B, Trasimene, Alight, Paysafe, FNF or Black Knight and/or their respective subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company or any of our respective subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no overlapping director.
We have in place a code of business conduct and ethics prescribing procedures for managing conflicts of interest and our risk management and compliance functions and our audit committee are responsible for the review, approval or ratification of any potential conflicts of interest transactions. Additionally, we expect that interested directors will abstain from decisions with respect to conflicts of interest as a matter of practice. However, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective, that we will be able to resolve all potential conflicts or that the resolution of any such conflicts will be no less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third party.
Refer to Note R to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to our related party relationships and transactions with FNF and our Manager.
Risks Relating to the Externalization and Our Manager
The Management Service Agreement was negotiated between related parties and the terms, including fees payable, may not be as favorable to us as if it were negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.
Because our Manager is owned by certain of our directors and executive officers, the Management Services Agreement was developed by related parties, although our independent directors reviewed and approved the Management Services Agreement. The terms of the Management Services Agreement, including fees payable, may not reflect the terms we may have received if it was negotiated with an unrelated third party. In addition, particularly as a result of our relationship with the principal owners of the Manager, who are certain directors and members of our management team, our independent directors may determine that it is in the best interests of our shareholders not to enforce, or to enforce less vigorously, our rights under the Management Services Agreement because of our desire to maintain our ongoing relationship with our Manager.

Table of Contents
Our executive officers, directors and Manager may allocate some of their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
While the members of our management team anticipate devotingdevote a substantial amount of their time to the affairs of the Company, our executive officers, directors, Manager and other members of our management team may engage in other business activities. This may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our management and the operations of other businesses. Their other business endeavors may involve related or unrelated parties. Conflicts of interest that arise over the allocation of time may not always be resolved in our favor and may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Conflicts of interest could arise in connection with certain of our directors’ and executive officers’ discharge of fiduciary duties to our shareholders.
Certain of our directors and executive officers are members of the Manager. Such persons, by virtue of their positions with us, have fiduciary duties to us and our shareholders. The duties of such persons as directors or executive officers to us and our shareholders may conflict with the interests of such persons in their capacities as members or employees of the Manager.
Our Manager and members of our management team may engage in activities that compete with us or our businesses.
While the members of our management team intend to devote a substantial majority of their time to the affairs of the Company, and while our Manager currently does not manage any other businesses that are in lines of business similar to our businesses, neither our management team nor our Manager is expressly prohibited from investing in or managing other entities, including those that are in the same or similar line of business as our businesses, or required to present any particular acquisition or business opportunity to the Company. In this regard, the Management Services Agreement and the obligation thereunder to provide management services to us will not create a mutually exclusive relationship between our Manager, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other.
We cannot remove our Manager solely for poor performance, which could limit our ability to improve our performance and could adversely affect the market price of our shares.
Under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, our Manager may not be removed as a result of underperformance. Instead, the Company may only remove our Manager in certain limited circumstances or upon a vote by a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors to terminate the Management Services Agreement. This limitation could adversely affect the market price of our shares.
Our Manager can resign on 180 days’ notice, subject to a limited extension, and we may not be able to find a suitable replacement, resulting in a disruption in our operations that could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as the market price of our shares.
Our Manager has the right, under the Management Services Agreement, to resign at any time on 180 days’ written notice, whether we have found a replacement or not, subject to the Company’s right to extend such period by an additional 180 days or until a replacement manager has been in place for 30 days, if no replacement manager has been found by the 150th day following the Manager’s notice of resignation. If our Manager resigns, we may not be able to contract with a new manager or hire internal management with similar expertise and ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 180 days (subject to possible extension), or at all, in which case our operations are likely to experience a disruption; our financial condition, business and results of operations as well as our ability to pay distributions are likely to be adversely affected; and the market price of our shares may decline. In addition, the coordination of our internal management, acquisition activities and supervision of our businesses is likely to suffer if we are unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution or group of executives having the expertise possessed by our Manager. Even if we are able to retain comparable management, whether internal or external, the integration of such management and their lack of familiarity with our businesses may result in additional costs and time delays that could materially adversely affect our financial condition, business and results of operations.
We must pay our Manager the management fee regardless of our performance.
Our Manager is entitled to receive a management fee that is based on our cost of invested capital, as defined in the Management Services Agreement, regardless of the performance of our businesses. The calculation of the management fee is unrelated to the Company’s results of operations. As a result, the management fee may incentivize our Manager to increase the amount of invested capital.


13

Table of Contents
We cannot determine the amount of the management fee that will be paid over time with any certainty, nor are we able to determine with any certainty the amount of carried interest that will be paid over time, and our payment of such fees and carried interest to the Manager may significantly reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Under the Management Services Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay a management fee to and, subject to certain exceptions, reimburse the costs and out-of-pocket expenses of our Manager incurred on behalf of the Company in connection with the provision of services to the Company. The management fee is calculated by reference to the Company’s cost of invested capital, which will be impacted by the acquisition or disposition of, and additional capital contributions and investments in, businesses, which can be significantly influenced by our Manager, as well as the performance of our businesses and other businesses we may acquire in the future. Changes in cost of invested capital and in the resulting management fee could be significant, resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations. In addition, if the
11

Table of Contents
performance of the Company declines, assuming cost of invested capital remains the same, management fees will increase as a percentage of the Company’s net income.
Furthermore, we cannot determine the amount of carried interest with respect to liquidity events involving the Company's businesses that will be paid over time with any certainty. Such determination would be dependent on the potential sale proceeds received for any of our businesses and the performance of the Company and its businesses over a multi-year period of time, among other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Such factors may have a significant impact on the amount of any carried interest to be paid to the Manager. Likewise, such determination would be dependent on whether certain hurdles were surpassed giving rise to a payment of carried interest.
While it is difficult to quantify with any certainty the actual amount of any such payments in the future, such amounts could be substantial. The management fee and carried interest will be payment obligations of the Company and, as a result, will be paid, along with other Company obligations, prior to the payment of distributions to shareholders. As a result, the payment of these amounts may significantly reduce the amount of cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders. If we do not have sufficient liquid assets to pay the management fee when such payments are due, we may be required to liquidate assets or incur debt in order to make such payments. This circumstance could materially adversely affect our liquidity and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
Our profit allocation may induce our Manager to make suboptimal decisions regarding our operations.
Our Manager will receive carried interest based on profits in excess of an annualized hurdle rate upon a liquidity event involving a Company investment. In this respect, a calculation and payment of carried interest may be triggered upon the sale of one of our businesses. As a result, our Manager may be incentivized to recommend the sale of one or more of our businesses to our Board of Directors at a time that may not be optimal for our shareholders.
Risks Relating to the Restaurant Group
The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted and may continue to disrupt the business of our Restaurant Group, which has and could continue to materially affect our Restaurant Group's operations, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for an extended period of time.
The COVID-19 outbreak, the federal, state and local government responses to COVID-19 and our responses to the outbreak have all disrupted and will continue to disrupt our Restaurant Group businesses. In the United States, individuals are being encouraged to practice social distancing, in most places are restricted from gathering in groups and in many cases, placed on complete restriction from non-essential movements outside of their homes. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and these changing conditions, we closed the dining rooms in substantially all of our restaurants in late March 2020 with substantially all remaining closed through early May 2020. During such time, most of our restaurants were solely operating to-go and delivery services in the jurisdictions where government regulations permit restaurants to continue to operate and where the guest demand made such operations sustainable. We temporarily closed certain restaurants, modified work hours for our Restaurant Group employees and identified and implemented cost savings measures throughout our Restaurant Group operations. If the COVID-19 outbreak arises again as a result of new variants, we may again be required to close the dining rooms in substantially all of our restaurants and solely operate to-go and delivery services, which would further adversely affect the results of operations of our Restaurant Group.
The COVID-19 outbreak and these responses have affected and, with the unpredictable impact of future variants of COVID-19 and related government responses to any future outbreaks, may continue to adversely affect our Restaurant Group brands' guest traffic, sales and operating costs and we cannot predict how long the outbreak will last or what other government responses may occur.
Suppliers of our Restaurant Group could be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. If our Restaurant Group's suppliers’ access to resources is constrained or their employees are unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with COVID-19, our Restaurant Group businesses could
14

Table of Contents
face shortages of food items or other restaurant supplies and our Restaurant Group's operations and sales could be adversely impacted by such supply interruptions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the historical financial results of our Restaurant Group and depending on the duration and scope, such impact could have a material adverse impact on our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
See further discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our Restaurant Group's results in the Results of Operations subsection in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report.
The Restaurant Group companies face significant competition for customers, real estate and employees and competitive pressure to adapt to changes in conditions driving customer demand. The Restaurant Group companies' inability to compete effectively may affect guest counts, sales and profit margins, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The restaurant industry is intensely competitive with a substantial number of restaurant operators that compete directly and indirectly with the Restaurant Group companies with respect to price, service, ambiance, brand, customer service, dining experience, location, food quality and variety and value perception of menu items and there are other well established competitors with substantially greater financial and other resources than the Restaurant Group companies. Some of our Restaurant Group companies' competitors advertise on national television, which may provide customers with greater awareness and name recognition than our Restaurant Group companies can achieve through their advertising efforts. There is also active competition for management personnel and attractive suitable real estate sites. Consumer tastes and perceptions, nutritional and dietary trends, guest count patterns and the type, number and location of competing restaurants often affect the restaurant business, and our Restaurant Group companies' competitors may react more efficiently and effectively to those conditions. For instance, prevailing health or dietary preferences or perceptions of our Restaurant Group companies' products may cause consumers to avoid certain menu items or products our Restaurant Group companies offer in favor of foods that are perceived as more healthy, and such choices by consumers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, our Restaurant Group companies face growing competition from the supermarket industry, with the improvement of their "convenient meals" in the deli and prepared food sections, from quick service and fast casual restaurants and online food delivery services as a result of food and beverage offerings by those food providers. As our Restaurant Group companies' competitors expand operations in markets where our restaurant businesses operate or expect to operate, we expect competition to intensify. If our Restaurant Group companies are unable to continue to compete effectively, their guest counts, sales and profit margins could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increased commodity, energy and other costs could decrease our Restaurant Group companies' profit margins or cause the Restaurant Group companies to limit or otherwise modify their menus, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The cost, availability and quality of ingredients restaurant operations use to prepare their food is subject to a range of factors, many of which are beyond their control. A significant component of our restaurant businesses' costs will be related to food commodities, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, poultry, dairy products, oils, produce, fruit, flour and other related costs such as energy and transportation over which we may have little control, that can be subject to significant price fluctuations due to seasonal shifts, climate conditions, industry demand, changes in international commodity markets and other factors. If there is a substantial increase in prices for these commodities, our Restaurant Group companies' results of operations may be negatively affected. In addition, the Restaurant Group companies' restaurants are dependent upon frequent deliveries of
12

Table of Contents
perishable food products that meet certain specifications. Shortages or interruptions in the supply of perishable food products caused by unanticipated demand, problems in production or distribution, disease or food-borne illnesses, inclement weather or other conditions could adversely affect the availability, quality, and cost of ingredients, which would likely lower revenues, damage the Restaurant Group companies' reputation or otherwise harm our business.
Negative customer experiences or negative publicity surrounding our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants or other restaurants could adversely affect sales in one or more of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants and make our concepts less valuable, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because we believe our Restaurant Group companies' success depends significantly on their ability to provide exceptional food quality, outstanding service and an excellent overall dining experience, adverse publicity, whether or not accurate, relating to food quality, public health concerns, illness, safety, injury or government or industry findings concerning our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants, restaurants operated by other food service providers or others across the food industry supply chain could affect our Restaurant Group companies more than it would other restaurants that compete primarily on price or other factors. If customers perceive or experience a reduction in the food quality, service or ambiance at our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants or in any way believe our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants have failed to deliver a consistently
15

Table of Contents
positive experience, the value and popularity of one or more of our Restaurant Group companies' concepts could suffer. Further, because our restaurant businesses rely heavily on "word-of-mouth," as opposed to more conventional mediums of advertisement, to establish concept recognition, our restaurant businesses may be more adversely affected by negative customer experiences than other dining establishments, including those of our restaurant businesses' competitors.
Our restaurant businesses could suffer due to reduced demand for our restaurant businesses' brands or specific menu offerings if our restaurant businesses are the subject of negative publicity or litigation regarding allegations of food-related contaminations or illnesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Food safety is a top priority, and our Restaurant Group companies dedicate substantial resources to ensuring that their customers enjoy safe, quality food products. Food-related contaminations and illnesses may be caused by a variety of food-borne pathogens, such as E. coli or salmonella, which are frequently carried on unwashed fruits and vegetables, from a variety of illnesses transmitted by restaurant workers, such as hepatitis A, which may not be diagnosed prior to being infectious, and from contamination of food by foreign substances. Contamination and food borne illness incidents could also be caused at the point of source or by food suppliers and distributors. As a result, we cannot control all of the potential sources of contamination or illness that can be contained in or transmitted from our Restaurant Group companies' food. Regardless of the source or cause, any report of food-borne illnesses or other food safety issues including food tampering or contamination, at one of our Restaurant Group companies' restaurants could adversely affect the reputation of our Restaurant Group companies' brands and have a negative impact on their sales. Even instances of food-borne illness, food tampering or food contamination occurring solely at restaurants of our Restaurant Group companies' competitors or at one of our Restaurant Group companies' suppliers could result in negative publicity about the food service industry generally and adversely impact our Restaurant Group companies' sales.
If any person becomes injured or ill, or alleges becoming injured or ill, as a result of eating our Restaurant Group companies' food, our Restaurant Group companies may temporarily close some restaurants, or their bakery facilities, which would decrease their revenues, and our restaurant businesses may be liable for damages or be subject to governmental regulatory action, either of which could have long-lasting, negative effects on our restaurant businesses' reputation, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether our restaurant businesses are found liable. The occurrence of food-borne illnesses or food safety issues could also adversely affect the price and availability of affected ingredients, resulting in higher costs and lower margins.
The success of the Restaurant Group depends, in part, on its intellectual property, which we may be unable to protect.
We regard our Restaurant Group's service marks, including "O'Charley's," "Ninety Nine" and other service marks and trademarks as important factors in the marketing of our restaurants. We have also obtained trademarks for several of our brands' menu items and for various advertising slogans. We are aware of names and marks similar to our Restaurant Group's service marks and trademarks used by other persons in certain geographic areas where we have restaurants. Our policy is to pursue registration of our marks whenever possible and to oppose vigorously any infringement of our marks.

D&B faces significant competition for its solutions, which may increase as D&B expands its business.
D&B faces significant competition for its solutions. D&B competes on the basis of differentiated solutions, datasets, analytics capabilities, ease of integration with its clients’ technology, stability of services, client relationships, innovation and price. D&B's global and regional competitors vary in size, financial and technical capability, and in the scope of the products and services they offer. Some of D&B's competitors may be better positioned to develop, promote and sell their products and
13

Table of Contents
services. Larger competitors may benefit from greater cost efficiencies and may be able to win business simply based on pricing. D&B's competitors may also be able to respond to opportunities before it does, by taking advantage of new technologies, changes in client requirements or market trends. In addition, D&B faces competition from non-traditional and free data sources.
Many of D&B's competitors have extensive client relationships, including relationships with D&B's current and potential clients. New competitors, or alliances among competitors, may emerge and gain significant market share. Existing or new competitors may develop products and services that are superior to D&B's solutions or that achieve greater acceptance than D&B's solutions. If D&B is unable to respond to changes in client requirements as quickly and effectively as its competition, D&B's ability to expand its business and sell its solutions may be adversely affected.
Additionally, D&B's competitors often sell services at lower prices than it does, individually or as part of integrated suites of several related services. This may cause D&B's clients to purchase from its competitors rather than from D&B, which could result in reduced prices for certain solutions or the loss of clients. Price reductions by D&B's competitors could also negatively impact its operating margins or harm its ability to obtain new long-term contracts or renewals of existing contracts on favorable terms. Additionally, some of D&B's clients may develop their own solutions that replace the solutions they currently purchase from D&B or look to new technologies, which could result in lower revenue.
We believe that D&B's D-U-N-S Number and D&B's ability to link its data together with this unique identifier provides it with a strategic advantage by allowing for a global, end-to-end assessment of businesses throughout the world. However, some of D&B's competitors and clients utilize their own unique identifiers, and clients have and may continue to adopt alternative standards to D&B's D-U-N-S Number and stop using D&B's solutions. In addition, public and commercial sources of free or relatively inexpensive business information have become increasingly available and this trend is expected to continue. To the extent the availability of free or relatively inexpensive business information increases, the demand for some of D&B's solutions may decrease. If more clients adopt alternative standards to the D-U-N-S Number or look to these other sources of data, it could have a material adverse effect on D&B's business, financial condition and results of operations.
A failure in the integrity of D&B's data or the systems upon which it relies could harm its brand and result in a loss of sales and an increase in legal claims.
The reliability of D&B's solutions is dependent upon the integrity of the data in its global databases. D&B utilizes single source providers in certain countries to support the needs of its clients globally and relies on members of its world-wide network to provide local data in certain countries. A failure in the integrity of D&B's databases, or an inability to ensure that its usage of data is consistent with any terms or restrictions on such use, whether inadvertently or through the actions of a third party, could harm D&B by exposing it to client or third-party claims or by causing a loss of client confidence in its solutions. For example, D&B licenses data from third parties for inclusion in the data solutions that it sells to its clients, and while D&B has guidelines and quality control requirements in place, it does not have absolute control over such third parties’ data collection and compliance practices. D&B may experience an increase in risks to the integrity of its databases as it acquires content through the acquisition of companies with existing databases that may not be of the same quality or integrity as D&B's existing databases.
In addition, there are continuous improvements in computer hardware, network operating systems, programming tools, programming languages, operating systems, data matching, data filtering and other database technologies and the use of the internet as well as emergence of new technologies. These improvements, as well as changes in client preferences or regulatory requirements or transitions to non-traditional or free data sources or new technologies, may require D&B to make changes in the technology it uses to gather and process its data and deliver its solutions. Further, D&B relies on third-party technology contractors that have extensive knowledge of its systems and database technologies. The loss of these third-party contractors could negatively affect D&B's ability to maintain and improve its systems. D&B's success will depend, in part, upon its ability to:
internally develop and implement new and competitive technologies;
use leading third-party technologies and contractors effectively;
respond to changing client needs and regulatory requirements, including being able to bring new solutions to the market quickly; and
transition clients and data sources successfully to new interfaces or other technologies.
D&B may not successfully implement new technologies, cause clients or data suppliers to implement compatible technologies or adapt its technology to evolving client, regulatory and competitive requirements. If D&B fails to respond, or fails to cause its clients or data suppliers to respond, to changes in technology, regulatory requirements or client preferences, the demand for D&B's solutions, the delivery of D&B's solutions or D&B's market reputation could be adversely affected. Additionally, D&B's failure to implement important updates or the loss of key third-party technology consultants could affect
14

Table of Contents
its ability to successfully meet the timeline for it to generate cost savings resulting from its investments in improved technology. Failure to achieve any of these objectives would impede D&B's ability to deliver strong financial results.
Although D&B is continually evolving the systems upon which it relies to sustain delivery of its solutions, meet client demands and support the development of new solutions and technologies, certain of D&B's existing infrastructure is comprised of complex legacy technology that requires time and investment to upgrade without disruption to its business. D&B has in the past been subject to client and third-party complaints and lawsuits regarding its data, which have occasionally been resolved by the payment of monetary damages. D&B has also licensed, and it may license in the future, proprietary rights to third parties. While D&B attempts to ensure that the quality of its brand is maintained by the third parties to whom it grants such licenses and by clients, they may take actions that could materially adversely affect the value of D&B's proprietary rights or reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on D&B's business, financial condition and results of operations.
D&B could lose its access to data sources or ability to transfer data across the data sources in markets it operates, which could prevent D&B from providing its solutions.
D&B's solutions depend extensively upon continued access to and receipt of data from external sources, including data received from clients, strategic partners and various government and public records repositories. In some cases, D&B competes with its data providers. D&B's data providers could stop providing data, restrict the scope of data to which they have access, provide untimely data or increase the costs for their data for a variety of reasons, including changing regulatory requirements, judicial decisions, a perception that its systems are unsecure as a result of a data security incidents, budgetary constraints, a desire to generate additional revenue or for regulatory or competitive reasons. For example, the ability of D&B's data providers to process and analyze such data may be constrained by government mandates to work remotely. In 2021, following a 2020 ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in its Case 311/18 Data Protection Commission v Facebook Ireland and Maximillian Schrems (Schrems II), European regulators and the European Commission have adopted prescriptive measures for assessing and demonstrating that all cross-border data transfers comply with the ruling. Additionally,Court of Justice of the European Union ruling in 2021,Case 311/18 Data Protection Commission v Facebook Ireland and Maximillian Schrems (Schrems II), and China adopted its own restrictions on cross-border data transfers under its new DSL and PIPL data compliance laws. laws. Additional supplemental measures in China requiring prior authorization for certain data transfers as well as regulatory enforcement decisions and opinions were adopted in 2022. As a result of these developments and related regulatory decisions, D&B has become and may become subject to further increased restrictions or mandates on the collection, disclosure or use or transfer of such data, in particular if such data is not collected by D&B's providers in a way that allows it to legally use the data or cannot be transferred out of the country where it has been collected. D&B may not be successful in maintaining its relationships with these external data source providers or be able to continue to obtain data from them on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, D&B may not be able to obtain data from alternative sources if its current sources become unavailable. If D&B were to lose access to this external data or if its access or use were restricted or were to become less economical or desirable, D&B's ability to provide solutions could be negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.Additionally, due to data transfer restrictions, existing and prospective D&B clients may be reluctant to acquire or use data that is subject to these restrictions, which may impede D&B's growth.
D&B is subject to various governmental regulations, laws and orders, including a 20-year consent order with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), compliance with which may cause D&B to incur significant expenses or reduce the availability or effectiveness of its solutions, and the failure to comply with which could subject D&B to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.
D&B is subject to various government regulations affecting the collection, processing, and sale of its data-driven solutions, such as the FTC Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), existing and expected rules and regulations in various U.S. states governing the collection, processing and protection of data, privacy rights, data security breach notification and related matters, the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and certain credit information laws and permits as well as constitutional requirements in the European Union, the Cyber Security Law, DSL, and PIPL, and new AI regulations in China and various other international, federal, state and local laws and regulations. See "Business—Regulatory Matters" for a description of select regulatory regimes to which D&B is subject.
These laws and regulations, which generally are designed to protect information relating to individuals and small businesses, the data rights of individuals, and to prevent the unauthorized collection, access to and use of personal or confidential information available in the marketplace and prohibit certain deceptive and unfair acts, are complex and have tended to become more stringent over time. Further, new laws and regulations are likely to be enacted and existing laws and regulations may change or be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible they will be interpreted and applied in ways that will materially and adversely affect D&B's business. New and amended data protection, privacy, credit, data security, artificial intelligence and ESG legislation that may impact Dun & Bradstreet has also been proposed both in the U.S. and internationally. D&B already incurs significant expenses in their effort to ensure compliance with these laws and those expenses may increase as new laws or regulations are enacted or the interpretation and application of existing laws and regulations change.
D&B responded to a second civil investigative demand from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") that they received in September 2019 in relation to an investigation by the FTC into potential violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act,
15

Table of Contents
primarily concerning our credit managing and monitoring products, such as CreditBuilder. Following consent negotiations, on September 21, 2021, D&B agreed to enter into an Agreement Containing Consent Order (the "FTC Consent Order") subject to acceptance by the FTC, the approval of which was finalized on April 6, 2023. The FTC Consent Order requires that D&B undertake specific compliance practices, recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting during its term, which ends on April 6, 2042. D&B's compliance with the FTC Consent Order may cause them to incur significant expenses or to reduce the availability or effectiveness of their solutions. Failure to comply with the FTC Consent Order could subject D&B to civil or criminal penalties or other liabilities.
On March 17, 2023, D&B was served by the FTC with an Order under Section 6(b) of the FTC Act (the "6(b) Order"), which authorizes the FTC to conduct wide-ranging studies that do not have a specific law enforcement purpose, in connection with the FTC’s inquiry into the small business credit reporting industry. Similar Orders were served on other companies in the credit reporting industry. Certain requirements of the 6(b) Order relate to subject matter similar to the scope of the FTC Consent Order. The FTC’s 6(b) inquiry is expected to examine various aspects of the collection, processing, and quality of information concerning small businesses for purposes of business credit reports and other business risk solutions, as well as the marketing and commercial practices related to such solutions, and various related matters. It is too early to determine what action, if any, the FTC may take with respect to its findings from its inquiry. It is possible that the FTC’s findings could result in FTC rule making or other action that may impact D&B's business.
Some new U.S. state laws are intended to provide consumers (including sole proprietors) with greater transparency and control over their personal data as well as to provide additional obligations and duties for businesses. These laws place requirements on a broad scope of data sales and processing, which are likely to affect D&B's business. Additionally, the duties and obligations for data handling, time sensitive privacy rights management, assessments, contracts, and similar requirements are expected to create more operational burdens on D&B's business. D&B anticipates that additional state and/or federal legislation in the U.S. relating to these matters will be enacted in the future and that our operations will need to continue to evolve to accommodate unique considerations across jurisdictions.
The following legal and regulatory developments also could have a material adverse effect on D&B's business, financial condition or results of operations:
changes in cultural and consumer attitudes in favor of further restrictions on information collection use and transfer, which may lead to regulations that prevent full utilization of our solutions and impair D&B's ability to transfer data across borders;
failure of data suppliers, third-party processors, or clients to comply with laws or regulations, where mutual compliance is required or where D&B's ability to comply is dependent on the compliance of those parties;
failure of D&B's solutions to comply with current laws and regulations or the requirements of the FTC Consent Order; and
failure to adapt D&B's solutions to changes in the regulatory environment in an efficient, cost-effective manner. This would include the failure to modify existing solutions, or new solutions created internally or acquired through mergers, to comply with existing or evolving legal requirements.
Changes in applicable legislation or regulations that restrict or dictate how D&B collects, maintains, combines and disseminates information could have a material adverse effect on D&B's business, financial condition or results of operations. In the future, D&B may be subject to significant additional expense to ensure continued compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to investigate, defend or remedy actual or alleged violations. Moreover, D&B's compliance with privacy and other data laws and regulations and D&B's reputation depend in part on its clients’ and business partners’ adherence to such laws and regulations and their use of D&B's solutions in ways consistent with client expectations and regulatory requirements. Businesses today are under intense scrutiny to comply with an ever-expanding and evolving set of data regulatory requirements, which can vary by geography and industry served. As such, performing adequate diligence on clients and suppliers can be cumbersome and dampen the pace of their business expansion or leave a business exposed to fines and penalties. Further, certain of the laws and regulations governing D&B's business are subject to interpretation by judges, juries and administrative entities, creating substantial uncertainty for its business. D&B cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new laws or regulations may have on its business.
Risks Relating to Alight
Alight faces significant competition and its failure to compete successfully could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of its business.
Alight's competitors may have greater resources, larger customer bases, greater name recognition, stronger presence in certain geographies and more established relationships with their customers and suppliers than it has. In addition, new competitors, alliances among competitors or mergers of competitors could result in Alight's competitors gaining significant

Large and well-capitalized competitors may be able to Paysaferespond to the need for technological changes (including the implementation of AI and Machine Learning ("ML")) and innovate faster, or price their services more aggressively. They may also compete for skilled professionals, finance acquisitions, fund internal growth and compete for market share more effectively than Alight does. If Alight is unable to compete successfully, it could lose market share and clients to competitors, which could materially adversely affect its results of operations. To respond to increased competition and pricing pressure, Alight may have to lower the cost of its solutions or decrease the level of service provided to clients, which could have an adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Although this focus distinguishes Paysafe from industry peers, it also increases risks inherent indata centers, some of which are within its business and broader industry. For example:
some of which are outsourced to third-party providers, including cloud infrastructure service providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure Cloud. Alight does not have control over the industry verticals Paysafe servesoperations of such third parties. Alight also may decide to employ additional offsite data centers in the future to accommodate growth. Problems faced by Alight's data center locations, with the telecommunications network providers with whom Alight or such providers contract, or with the systems by which Alight's telecommunications providers allocate capacity among their clients, including Alight, could adversely affect the availability and processing of Alight's solutions and related services and the experience of Alight's clients. If Alight's data centers are extensively regulated,unable to keep up with its growing needs for capacity, this could have an adverse effect on Alight's business and their regulation is evolvingcause it to incur additional expense. In addition, any financial difficulties faced by Alight's third-party data center’s operator or any of the service providers with whom Alight or such providers contract may have negative effects on Alight's business, the nature and subjectextent of which are difficult to frequent changepredict. These facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, cyber security attacks (including "ransomware" and uncertain interpretation. As a result of regulatory action, Paysafe has had to exit a market altogether, limit services it provides, or otherwise modify its business in ways that have adversely impacted profitability. Paysafe is also exposed to a higherphishing attacks), terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures and similar events. The risk of losses resulting from related investigations, regulatorycyber-attacks could be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, or other hostile actions taken by nation-states and litigation.;

For example, merchants may compel Paysafe to change their operations or add bespoke or enhanced internal controls in order to do business with them; and
from time to time, the industry verticals Paysafe serves (and Paysafe by association) are the subject of negative publicity, which can harm Paysafe’s brand and deter consumers and merchants from adopting its products and services and influence its’ third-party service providers’ assessment of its’ business.
The enhanced risks resulting from Paysafe’s specialized focus can materialize suddenly and without warning, which may result in increased volatility in its’ results of operations compared with other companies in its’ industry that do not provide services to companies in high-risk industry verticals, andunanticipated problems could result in a materiallengthy interruptions in Alight's services and solutions. The facilities also could be subject to break-ins, computer viruses, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and other misconduct. Any errors, failures, interruptions or delays experienced in connection with these third-party technologies and information services, or Alight's own systems, could negatively impact Alight's relationships with customers and adversely affect its business and could expose it to third-party liabilities. Any errors, defects, disruptions or other performance problems with our information technology systems including any changes in service levels at Alight's third-party data center could adversely affect its reputation and may damage its clients’ stored files or result in lengthy interruptions in its services. Interruptions in Alight's services might reduce its revenues, subject it to potential liability or other expenses or adversely affect its renewal rates.
In relation to Alight's third-party data centers, while Alight owns, controls and has access to its servers and all of the components of its network that are located in these centers, Alight does not control the operation of these facilities. The operators of Alight's third-party data center facilities have no obligation to renew their agreements with Alight on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If Alight is unable to renew these agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or if the data center operators are acquired, Alight may be required to transfer its servers and other infrastructure to new data center facilities, and Alight may incur costs and experience service interruption in doing so.
Changes in regulation, including changes in regulations related to health and welfare plans, fiduciary rules, pension reform, payroll and data privacy, data usage, and their application and interpretation could have an adverse effect on Paysafe’s business, financial condition, resultsAlight's business.
In addition to the complexity of the laws and regulations themselves, the development of new laws and regulations, changes in application or interpretation of laws and regulations and Alight's continued operational changes and development into new jurisdictions and new service offerings also increases Alight's legal and regulatory compliance complexity as well as the type of governmental oversight to which it may be subject. These changes in laws and regulations could mandate significant and costly changes to the way Alight implements its services and solutions or could impose additional licensure requirements or costs to Alight's operations and future prospects.

In that business, Paysafe is liableall jurisdictions, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to various acquiring banks for chargebacks incurred by its merchants where the merchants are unable to meet liabilities arising as a result of those chargebacks. If the average chargeback rate on any of Paysafe’s merchant portfolios at any acquiring bank exceeds the maximum average chargeback rate permitted by the card agreements, Paysafe will be required to take steps to reduce the average chargeback rate so that it falls below the maximum permitted rate or risk losing its relationship with that acquiring bank. Those steps might include processing more transactions for merchants who have lower chargeback rates to produce a lower average chargeback rate for the portfolio as a whole or terminating relationships with merchants who have higher chargeback rates, which could in turn lead to a material loss of revenue for Paysafe. Chargebacks may arise as individual claims or as multiple claims relating to the same facts or circumstances. For example, the insolvency or cessation of a merchant doing business could cause numerous individual customers to bring claims at once which, either singly or in aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on Paysafe’s results of operations, financial condition and future prospects. Similarly, chargebacks or fraud related to Paysafe’s customers or merchants in its digital wallet business could cause the payment card schemes of which Paysafe is a member in Europe to require Paysafe to implement additional and potentially costly controls, and ultimately disqualify it from processing transactions if satisfactory controls are not maintained. Further, if any of the services Paysafe offers are deemed to have caused or contributed to illegal activity, customers, consumer protection agencies and regulatory firms could band together to initiate chargeback card payments or ACH reversals for transactions associated with the activity in question.
In Paysafe’s digital wallet business, Paysafe offers its merchants a "no chargeback policy." A chargeback is the return of funds to a customer and in this context relates to a reversal of unauthorized charges to a customer’s credit card, for example, as a result of fraud or identity theft. Under Paysafe’s "no chargeback policy," Paysafe agrees to allow merchants who qualify under its vetting policy to retain all monies received from its’ NETELLER and Skrill Digital wallet holders and undertake not to request reimbursement from such merchants in respect of chargebacks incurred. In such cases, the full amount of the disputed transaction is charged back to Paysafe and its credit card processor may levy additional fees against Paysafe unless they can successfully challenge the chargeback. Paysafe believes that its "no chargeback policy" is a key factor in a merchant’s decision to use its digital wallet services.amendment

Paysafe’s businessesor interpretation by regulatory authorities. In addition, new regulatory or industry developments could create an increase in competition that could adversely affect Alight. These potential developments include:
changes in regulations relating to health and welfare plans including potential challenges or changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, expansion of government-sponsored coverage through Medicare or the creation of a single payer system;
changes in regulations relating to defined contribution and defined benefit plans, including pension reform that could decrease the attractiveness of certain of our retirement products and services to retirement plan sponsors and administrators or have an unfavorable effect on Alight's ability to earn revenues from these products and services;
changes in regulations relating to payroll processing and payments or withholding taxes or other required deductions;
additional requirements respecting data privacy and data usage in jurisdictions in which Alight operates that may increase its costs of compliance and potentially reduce the manner in which data can be used by Alight to develop or further its product offerings;
changes in regulations relating to fiduciary rules;
changes in federal or state regulations relating to marketing and sale of Medicare plans, Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D prescription drug plans;
changes to regulations of producers, brokers, agents or third-party administrators such as the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, that may alter operational costs, the manner in which Alight markets or is compensated for certain services or other aspects of Alight's business; and
additional regulations or revisions to existing regulations promulgated by other regulatory bodies in jurisdictions in which Alight operates.
For example, there have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at addressing the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. Although Alight cannot predict the ultimate content or timing of any healthcare reform legislation, potential changes resulting from any amendment, repeal or replacement of these programs, including any reduction in the future availability of healthcare insurance benefits, could adversely affect Alight's business and future results of operations. Further, the federal government from time to time considers pension reform legislation, which could negatively impact Alight's sales of defined benefit or defined contribution plan products and services and cause sponsors to discontinue existing plans for which Alight provides administrative or other services. Certain tax-favored savings initiatives that have been proposed could hinder sales and persistency of Alight's products and services that support employment-based retirement plans.
Alight's services are also the subject of ever-evolving government regulation, either because the services provided to merchant credit risk in respect of non-payment for products provided and services rendered or non-reimbursement of costs incurred. The contracts Paysafe enters into may require significant expenditure priorbusiness conducted by Alight's clients are regulated directly or because third parties upon whom Alight relies on to merchant payments and may expose Paysafe to potential credit risk or may require Paysafe to use its available bank facilities in order to meet payment obligations.
Additionally, Paysafe is exposed to risk associated with the settlement of consumer deposits. Digital wallet deposits from financial institutions, such as bank accounts, are credited to customer accounts before settlement of funds is received. Thus, there is a risk that the funds may not be settled or may be recalled due to insufficient funds or fraud reasons, exposing Paysafe to the risk of negative customer wallet balances and bad debt. Further, digital wallet prepaid card deposits or transactions made by consumers may be charged back by consumers resulting in a negative balance and loss on Paysafe’s accounts. If Paysafe is unable to effectively manage and monitor these risks, they could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and future prospects.
Paysafe may become an unwitting party to fraud or be deemed to be handling proceeds resulting from the criminal activity of its customers.
Paysafe is focused on providing trustedprovide services to its customers and merchants and ensuring that data and confidential information is transmitted and stored securely. Combating money laundering and fraud is a significant challenge inclients are regulated, thereby indirectly impacting the online payment services industry because transactions are conducted between parties who are not physically present, which in turn creates opportunities for misrepresentation and abuse. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal activities such as identity theft, fraud and paper instrument counterfeiting. Online payment companies are especially vulnerable because of the convenience, immediacy and in some cases anonymity of transferring funds from one account to another and subsequently withdrawing them. The highly automated nature of, and liquidity offered by, Paysafe’s payments services make it a target for illegal or improper uses, including fraudulent or illegal sales of goods or services, money laundering and terrorist financing. Allegations of fraud may result in fines, settlements, litigation expenses and reputational damage.
While Paysafe employs a variety of tools to protect against fraud, these tools may not be successful. Paysafe reserves the right to refuse to accept accounts or transactions from many high-risk countries, internet protocol addresses and e-mail domains and continually update these screening filters. Paysafe’s transaction monitoring systems are designed to identify various criteria, including the country of origination, in order to detect and monitor fraud and to reject any purported transactions if they appear to be fraudulent. Nevertheless, Paysafe’s transaction monitoring systems may not operate as intended or may otherwise fail to effectively detect fraudulent transactions or locate where a transaction is being made. Paysafe faces significant risks of loss due to money laundering, fraud and disputes between senders and recipients, and if Paysafe is unable to deal effectively with losses from fraudulent transactions its business could be materially harmed.
The ability for customers to withdraw and deposit funds within various accounts and the potential for customer fraud in connection with certain gambling activities heightens the risks of money laundering and the unwitting receipt by Paysafe of criminal proceeds. Paysafe’s industry is under increasing scrutiny from governmental authorities—in Europe, the United States and many other jurisdictionsmanner in which it operates—Alight provides services to those clients. Changes in connection withlaws, government regulations or the potential for consumer fraud. The laws of some jurisdictions define or interpret what constitutes the underlying criminal activity that gives rise to criminal proceeds relatively narrowly (for example, terrorist financing). Conversely, other jurisdictions have adopted laws providing for relatively broad definitions or interpretations of underlying criminal activity (for example,way those regulations are interpreted in the UK criminal proceeds may arise from the conviction of any criminal offense where it is found that the defendant has benefited from the criminal conduct). Further, to the extent to which payment processors may be held civilly or criminally liable for the criminal activities of its merchant customers also varies widely across the jurisdictions in which Paysafe operates.Alight operates could affect the viability, value, use or delivery of benefits and HR programs, including changes in regulations relating to health and welfare plans (such as medical), defined contribution plans (such as 401(k)), defined benefit plans (such as retirement or pensions) or payroll delivery, may adversely affect the demand for, or profitability of, Alight's services.

This, in turn, could lead to additional government enforcement actionsexpand direct-to-consumer sales and investigations and concerns raised by merchants and Paysafe’s banking partners, which in turn could reduce the use and acceptance of Paysafe’s services or increase its compliance costs and thereby have a material adverse impact on its’ business, financial condition and results of operations. By processing payments for merchants and customers in certain industry vehicles, such as those engaged in the online gambling sector, Paysafe may be deemed to be handling proceeds of crime in the jurisdiction where its merchants and customers are located. Paysafemarketing solutions, Alight is subject to anti-money launderingvarious federal and state laws and regulations including,that prescribe when and how Alight may market to consumers (including, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (the "TCPA") and other telemarketing laws and the Medicare Communications and Marketing Guidelines issued by the Center for Medicare Services of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service). The TCPA provides for private rights of action and potential statutory damages for each violation and additional penalties for each willful violation. Alight has in the United States,past and may in the BSA which requires money services businessesfuture become subject to claims that it has violated the TCPA and/or other telemarketing laws. Changes to these laws could negatively affect Alight's ability to market directly to consumers or increase Alight's costs or liabilities.

A quickly evolving social, legal and regulatory environment may cause Alight to incur increased operational and compliance costs, including increased research and development costs, or divert resources from other development efforts, to address potential issues related to usage of AI and ML. Alight is increasingly building AI and ML into many of its offerings. As with many cutting-edge innovations, AI and ML present new risks and challenges, and existing laws and regulations may apply to Alight in new ways, the nature and extent of which are difficult to predict.

incorporates AI and ML into its offerings for use cases that could potentially impact civil, privacy, or employment benefit rights. Failure to adequately address issues that may arise with such use cases could negatively affect the adoption of Alight's solutions and subject it to reputational harm, regulatory action, or legal liability, which may harm its financial condition and operating results. Potential government regulation related to AI, including relating to ethics and social responsibility, may also increase the burden and cost of compliance and research and development. Employees, customers, or customers’ employees who are dissatisfied with Alight's public statements, policies, practices, or solutions related to the development and use of AI and ML may express opinions that could introduce reputational or business harm, or legal liability.
Risks Relating to the Split-OffCompany's Structure 
We may incurbecome subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We do not believe that we are subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "40 Act"). We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long-term. Our officers, the Manager and employees devote their activities to these businesses. Based on these factors, we believe that we are not an investment company under the 40 Act, including by virtue of the exception from the definition of “investment company” Section 3(b)(1) of the 40 Act, and we intend to continue to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed an investment company. If, at any time, we become or are determined to be primarily engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, we could become subject to regulation under the 40 Act. In these circumstances, after giving effect to any applicable grace periods, we may be required to register as an investment company, which could result in significant registration and compliance costs, could require changes to our corporate governance structure and financial reporting, and could restrict our activities going forward. In addition, if we were to become subject to the 40 Act, any violation of the 40 Act could subject us to material costs asadverse consequences, including potentially significant regulatory penalties and the possibility that certain of our contracts would be deemed unenforceable.

Certain executive officers and members of our Board of Directors have or will have interests and positions that could present potential conflicts.
Certain executive officers and members of our Board serve on the boards of directors of other entities or are employed by other entities, including but not limited to D&B, Trasimene, Alight, System1, BKFE, CSI and Minden Mill.
As a result of the foregoing, there may be circumstances where certain executive officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to, among other things: (i) our separationongoing relationships with D&B, Trasimene, Alight, System1, BKFE, CSI or Minden Mill; (ii) business opportunities arising for any of us; and (iii) conflicts of time with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us. For example, from FNF,time to time, we may enter into transactions with such other entities and/or their respective subsidiaries or other affiliates. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such transactions will be as favorable to our company or any of our respective subsidiaries or affiliates as would be the case where there is no potential conflict of interest.
We have in place a code of business conduct and ethics prescribing procedures for managing conflicts of interest and our Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel and our related persons transaction committee are responsible for the review, approval or ratification of any potential conflicts of interest transactions. Additionally, we expect that interested directors will abstain from decisions with respect to conflicts of interest as a matter of practice. In 2023, our Board ratified the related person transaction committee and a related person transaction policy that governs all transactions with directors (and director nominees), executive officers, immediate family members of directors and executive officers, shareholders that own greater than 5% of any class of the Company's voting securities, our Manager, and generally any entity in which a director or officer of the Company controls. All transactions or series of transactions exceeding $120,000 with such persons or entities must be reviewed and approved by the related person transaction committee. The related person transaction committee consists of two independent directors and if a member of such committee is involved in a transaction under review, they are required to recuse themself from the review under our related person transaction policy. However, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective, that we will be able to resolve all potential conflicts or that the resolution of any such conflicts will be no less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated third party.
Refer to Note O - Related Party Transactions to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding our related party relationships and transactions with our Manager and entities affiliated with certain members of our Board.
An inability of our material unconsolidated affiliates to maintain effective financial reporting processes may adversely impact our ability to report our results of operations or financial condition accurately and timely.
The accuracy and timeliness of the Company's financial reporting is dependent on the timely financial reporting and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting of our material investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Material deficiencies in the internal controls over financial reporting or other matters impacting the ability of our unconsolidated

Table of Contents
affiliates to accurately and timely report their standalone results of operations and financial condition or meet related debt covenants, if any, may cause us to be unable to report the financial information of the Company on a timely basis or reduce the value of the Company's related investment. Furthermore, restatements to prior period financial information reported by our material unconsolidated affiliates could require the Company to similarly restate its prior period financial information. If the Company is unable to timely and accurately report its financial information it could subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including potential sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There also could be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the price of the Company's common stock.
General Risk Factors 
The loss of key personnel could impair our operating abilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As a resultOur success will substantially depend on our ability to attract and retain key members of our separation from FNF,senior management team and officers. If we have incurred and will continue to incur costs and expenses not previously incurred. These increased costs and expenses may arise from various factors, including financial reportinglose one or costs associated with complying with the federal securities laws (including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, tax administration and human resources related functions.) FNF provided manymore of these services for us at no-cost (other than reimbursement of FNF's out-of-pocket costs and expenses) under the Corporate Services Agreement (the "CSA"), dated as of November 17, 2017, by and between us and FNF until November 2020. In October 2020, we entered into an Extension of Corporate Services Agreement (the "Extension") with FNF. Pursuant to the Extension, the term of the CSA is extended for two years until November 17, 2022 (the "Extended Term"). During the Extended Term, FNF will provide certain corporate services to Cannae at FNF’s Standard Allocation (as defined in the CSA), plus 10%, and Cannae agrees to pay or reimburse FNF for any fees, costs or other expenses paid by FNF to third parties in connection with the corporate services. The CSA will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless the parties mutually agree to terminate the CSA at least 30 days prior to the applicable termination date. No later than 30 days prior to such termination date, the parties shall negotiate mutually agreeable arm’s length terms for each additional one-year term.
We cannot assure you that we will not incur third-party vendor costs or out-of-pocket expenses under the CSA that are material tokey employees, our business. Moreover, we will have to develop internal departments/functions to perform the services at the end of the term of the CSA. Through the date of this Annual Report, we have developed internal departments/functions for most of the services previously provided by FNF pursuant to the CSA, but we still rely on FNF for certain functions including information technology security.
Our agreements with FNF were negotiated while we were a subsidiary of FNF.
We have a number of agreements with FNF covering matters such as tax sharing and our responsibility for certain liabilities previously undertaken by FNF for certain of our businesses. In addition, we have entered into (i) the CSA, (ii) a voting agreement with FNF, pursuant to which FNF agrees to appear or cause all shares of Cannae Holdings common stock that FNF or its subsidiaries, as applicable, own after the Split-Off to be counted as present at any meeting of the stockholders of Cannae Holdings, for the purpose of establishing a quorum, and agrees to vote all of such Cannae Holdings shares (or cause them to be voted) in the same manner as,operating results and in turn the same proportion to, all shares voted by holders of Cannae Holdings common stock (other than FNF and its subsidiaries), (iii) a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which FNF or its subsidiaries, as applicable, received registration rights with respect to the shares in Cannae held by FNF and (iv) a revolver note with FNF, pursuant to which Cannae Holdings may borrow revolving loans, the proceeds of which may be used for investment purposes and working capital needs, from FNF from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million. The terms of all of these agreements were initially established while we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF, and hence may not be the result of arm's length negotiations.
We believe that the terms of these agreements are commercially reasonable and fair to all parties under the circumstances; however, conflicts could arise in the interpretation or any extension or renegotiation of the foregoing agreements after the Split-Off.
Salesvalue of our common stock by FNFcould be materially adversely affected. Although we may occur, which could causeenter into employment agreements with our stock price to declineofficers, there can be no assurance that the entire term of any employment agreement will be served or result in volatility in our stock price.
In conjunction with the Split-Off, FNF received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) relating to the tax-free treatment of the Split-Off to FNF and holders of FNFV common stock. One of the representations FNF made to the IRS in soliciting such private letter ruling included an assertion that FNF would dispose of the shares of common stock of the Company it retained no later than 5 years after the closing of the Split-Off which occurred in November 2017. Accordingly, in order to ensure the tax-free treatment of the Split-Off, FNF is expected to dispose of the 5.8 million shares of our common stock it holds over the next several months. If FNF sells its shares of our common stock, or if there is an adverse market perception of the impact of FNF selling its shares, it may decrease the market price of our common stock or result in volatility in our stock price.

General Risk Factors any employment agreement will be renewed upon expiration.
Data security and integrity are critically important to the businesses we own and manage, and cybersecurity incidents, including cyberattacks, breaches of security, unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential information, business disruption, or the perception that confidential information is not secure, could result in a material loss of business, regulatory enforcement, substantial legal liability and/or significant harm to their reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Improper access to, misappropriation, destruction or disclosure of confidential, personal or proprietary data could result in significant harm to our reputation or the reputation of any of the businesses we own.
For example, D&B collects, stores and transmits a large amount of confidential company information on overhundreds of millions of total businesses, including financial information and personal information, as well as certain consumer information and credit information. D&B operates in an environment of significant risk of cybersecurity incidents resulting from unintentional events or deliberate attacks by third parties or insiders, which may involve exploiting highly obscure security vulnerabilities or sophisticated attack methods.
With respect to Alight, one of its significant responsibilities is to maintain the security and privacy of its employees’ and clients’ confidential and proprietary information and the confidential information about clients’ employees’ compensation, health and benefits information and other personally identifiable information. With respect to our Restaurant Group companies, they rely heavily on information technology systems across their operations and corporate functions, including for order and delivery from suppliers and distributors, point-of-sale processing in their restaurants, management of their supply chains, payment of obligations, collection of cash, bakery production, data warehousing toor support analytics, finance or accounting systems, labor optimization tools, gift cards, online business and various other processes and transactions, including the storage of employee and customer information. With respect to Paysafe, its operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential, proprietary, personal, financial and other information in its’ computer systems and networks. Paysafe’s information technology security systems, software and networks and those of the customers and third parties with whom Paysafe interacts may be vulnerable to unauthorized access (from within or by third parties), computer viruses or other malicious code, or other cybersecurity threats, which could result in the unauthorized access, loss, theft or disclosure of confidential, proprietary, or personal information relating to merchants, customers and employees.
The businesses we own and manage have experienced and we expect towill continue to experience numerous attempts to access their computer systems, software, networks, data and other technology assets on a daily basis. The security and protection of their data is a top priority for them. Such businesses devote significant resources to maintain and regularly upgrade the wide array of physical, technical and contractual safeguards that they employ to provide security around the collection, storage, use, access and delivery of information they possess. These businesses have implemented various measures to manage their risks related to system and network security and disruptions, but an actual or perceived security breach, a failure to make adequate disclosures to the public or law enforcement agencies following any such event or a significant and extended disruption in the functioning of its information technology systems could damage a portfoliosubsidiary company’s reputation and cause it to lose clients, adversely impact its operations, sales and operating results and require it to incur significant expense to address and remediate or otherwise resolve such issues.
Although our businesses have not incurred material losses or liabilities to date as a result of any breaches, unauthorized disclosure, loss or corruption of their data or inability of their clients to access their systems, such events could result in intellectual property or other confidential information being lost or stolen, including client, employee or business data, disrupt their operations, subject them to substantial regulatory and legal proceedings and potential liability and fines, result in a material loss of business and/or significantly harm their reputation. If they are unable to efficiently manage the vulnerability of their systems and effectively maintain and upgrade their system safeguards, they may incur unexpected costs and certain of their systems may become more vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Furthermore, if we are unable to similarly and effectively maintain and upgrade our corporate system safeguards, data and confidential information we may have access to from time to time about the businesses we own and manage may also become more vulnerable to unauthorized access. We utilize a third party to manage the Company's corporate IT network and related resources and we actively collaborate with the third party to monitor risks and recent threats to our IT environment, develop protocols for responding to cybersecurity incidents, and train employees on common techniques used in cyber attacks. Our failure to adequately monitor our key third-party IT service provider could result in the failure of all or a portion of our IT resources and impact the operations of our business. Furthermore, loss of our third-party IT service provider could result in increased cost associated with acquiring new internal IT resources and developing internal IT processes.
Due to concerns about data security and integrity, a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies have adopted breach notification and other requirements in the event that information subject to such laws is accessed by unauthorized persons and additional regulations regarding the use, access, accuracy and security of such data are possible. For example, in the United States, D&B is subject to laws that provide for at least 50 disparate notification regimes. D&B is also subject to various laws in regulations in the other global markets it operates including Europe and Asia. Complying with such numerous and complex regulations in the event of unauthorized access would be expensive and difficult, and failure to comply with these regulations could subject D&B to regulatory scrutiny and additional liability. In many jurisdictions, including North America and the European Union, Alight is subject to laws and regulations relating to the collection, use, retention, security and transfer of this information including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended ("HIPAA") and the HIPAA regulations governing, among other things, the privacy, security and electronic transmission of individually identifiable protected health information, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). California also enacted legislation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and the related California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), that afford California

residents expanded privacy protections and a private right of action for security breaches affecting their personal information. Virginia and Colorado have similarly enacted comprehensive privacy laws, the Consumer Data Protection Act and Colorado Privacy Act, respectively, both laws of which emulate the CCPA and CPRA in many respects. The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act took effect on January 1, 2023, and the Colorado Privacy Act took effect on July 1, 2023. We anticipate federal and state regulators to continue to consider and enact regulatory oversight initiatives and legislation related to privacy and cybersecurity. These and other similar laws and regulations are frequently changing and are becoming increasingly complex and sometimes conflict among the various jurisdictions and countries in which Alight provides services both in terms of substance and in terms of enforceability. This makes compliance challenging and expensive. Alight’s failure to adhere to or successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in legal liability or impairment to our reputation in the marketplace. Further, regulatory initiatives in the area of data protection are more frequently including provisions allowing authorities to impose substantial fines and penalties, and therefore, failure to comply could also have a significant financial impact.
If Cannae or its businesses are unable to protect their computer systems, software, networks, data and other technology assets it could have a material adverse effect on their business,the value of our businesses, and ultimately, our financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the value of our businesses. We record many of our ownership interests using the equity method of accounting, through which we record our proportionate share of their net earnings or loss in our consolidated financial statements. Equity-method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If our equity-method investment is not recoverable, we may be required to record an impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
The loss of key personnel could impair our operating abilities and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our success will substantially depend on our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team and officers. If we lose one or more of these key employees, our operating results and in turn the value of our common stock could be materially adversely affected. Although we may enter into employment agreements with our officers, there can be no assurance that the entire term of any employment agreement will be served or that any employment agreement will be renewed upon expiration.
The due diligence process that we undertake in connection with new acquisitions may not reveal all facts that may be relevant in connection with acquisitions of ownership interests.interests and we may not realize the anticipated benefits from past or potential future acquisitions, strategic transactions, investments, or our business model.
Before making acquisitions, we conduct due diligence that we deem reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence, we may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisers, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of business and transaction. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence and making an assessment regarding an acquisition, we rely on the resources available to us, including information provided by the target of the transaction and, in some circumstances, third partythird-party investigations. The due diligence investigation that we carry out with respect to any opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts (including fraud) that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such opportunity. Moreover, such an investigation will not necessarily result in the acquisition being successful. As a result, we may not realize the benefits from our acquisitions that we anticipated at the time of our diligence and initial consummation of transactions.
Our management may seek growth through acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our current areas of focus or geographic areas. This expansion of our business subjects us to associated risks, such as the diversion of management's attention and lack of experience in operating such businesses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may make acquisitions in lines of business that are not directly tied to or synergistic with our current portfoliosubsidiary companies. Accordingly, we may in the future acquire businesses in industries or geographic areas with which management is less familiar than we are with our current businesses.

Table of Contents
The acquisition and integration of any business we may acquire involves a number of risks and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures in assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies, products, personnel or operations of the acquired business. Furthermore, acquisitions may: (1) involve our entry into geographic or business markets in which we have little or no prior experience; (2) involve difficulties in retaining the customers of the acquired business; (3) involve difficulties and expense associated with regulatory requirements, competition controls or investigations; (4) result in a delay or reduction of sales for both us and the business we acquire; and (5) disrupt our ongoing business, divert our resources and require significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of our current business.
To complete future acquisitions, we may determine that it is necessary to use a substantial amount of our cash or engage in equity or debt financing. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital-raising activities and other financial and operational matters that make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital in the future and to pursue other business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all, which could limit our ability to engage in acquisitions. Moreover, we can make no assurances that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, such
21

Table of Contents
as operating improvements or anticipated cost savings, would be realized or that we would not be exposed to unexpected liabilities in connection with any acquisition.
Further, an acquisition may negatively affect our operating results because it may require us to incur charges and substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation and amortization of deferred compensation charges, may require the amortization, write-down or impairment of amounts related to deferred compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets, may include substantial contingent consideration payments or other compensation that reducereduces our earnings during the quarter in which it is incurred, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset acquisition costs.
We may often pursue opportunities that involve businesses,business, regulatory, legal or other complexities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As an element of our strategy, we may pursue unusually complex opportunities. This could often take the form of substantial business, regulatory or legal complexity. Our tolerance for complexity may present risks, and as such, transactions can be more difficult, expensive and time-consuming to finance and execute; it may be more difficult to manage or realize value from the assets acquired in such transactions; and such transactions may sometimes entail a higher level of regulatory scrutiny or a greater risk of contingent liabilities. Any of these risks could harm our performance.
We and the businesses we own and manage, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, are involved in legal proceedings and may experience unfavorable outcomes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We and the businesses we own and manage, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, are involved in pending and threatened litigation matters, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. We and such companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies. We may not be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to their satisfaction, and these matters may involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief that might necessitate changes to their business or operations. The defense of these actions may be both time consuming and expensive and their outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Determining reserves for pending litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that requires significant legal judgment. It is possible that unfavorable outcomes in one or more such proceedings could result in substantial payments that could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows in a particular period or on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The lack of liquidity in certain of our ownership interests may adversely affect our business.
We invest, and will continue to invest, in companies whose securities are not publicly traded and whose securities will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of ownership interests with these characteristics may make it difficult for us to sell these positions when desired. In addition, if we are required or otherwise choose to liquidate all or a portion of our assets quickly, we may realize significantly less than the value at which we had previously recorded these ownership interests. Our businesses are often subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or are otherwise illiquid because there is usually no established trading market for such ownership interests. Because certain of our businesses are illiquid, we may be unable to dispose of them timely or we may be unable to do so at a favorable price, and, as a result, we may suffer losses.

Our charter, bylaws and provisions of Delaware law may discourage or prevent strategic transactions, including a takeover of our company, even if such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders.
Provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law, ("DGCL"), could delay or prevent a third party from entering into a strategic transaction with us, as applicable, even if such a transaction would benefit our stockholders. For example, our charter and bylaws: (1) authorize the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that could be issued by us upon approval of our board of directorsBoard to increase the number of outstanding shares of capital stock, making a takeover more difficult and expensive; (2) provide that directors may be removed from office only for cause and that any vacancy on our board of directorsBoard may only be filled by a majority of our directors then in office, which may make it difficult for other stockholders to reconstitute our board of directors;Board; (3) provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only upon the request of a majority of our board of directorsBoard or by our executive chairman, chief executive officer or president, as applicable; (4) require advance notice to be given by stockholders for any stockholder proposals or director nominees; (5) provide that directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders, which results in each director nominee elected by a plurality winning his or her seat upon receiving one "for" vote; and (6) provide that the board of directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of Cannae.

Table of Contents
These restrictions and provisions could keep us from pursuing relationships with strategic partners and from raising additional capital, which could impede our ability to expand our business and strengthen our competitive position. These restrictions could also limit stockholder value by impeding a sale of our company.
Our consolidated financial statements include estimates made by management and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include fair value measurements and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates. See Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report for further discussion.
We record many of our ownership interests using the equity method of accounting, through which we record our proportionate share of their net earnings or loss in our consolidated financial statements. Equity-method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. If we determine that there are indicators that the book value of any of our equity-method investments are not recoverable, we are required to estimate the fair value of the ownership interest. Determining the fair value of our non-public businesses is subjective and involves the use of estimates. If we determine the fair value of any of our ownership interests is less than its recorded book value, we may be required to record an impairment charge, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. See further discussion of our policies and process for monitoring impairment in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report under the header Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
The global operations of certain of our ownership interests including D&B, Alight and BKFE may subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business.
These risks, which can vary substantially by country, include political, financial or social instability or conditions, geopolitical events, corruption, social unrest, natural disasters, military conflicts and terrorism, as well as exposure to the macroeconomic environment in such markets (including consumer preferences and spending, unemployment levels, wage and commodity inflation and foreign exchange rate fluctuations), the regulatory environment (including the risks of operating in markets in which there are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of legal requirements and the enforceability of contract rights and intellectual property rights), and income and non-income based tax rates and laws. Adverse changes in any of these factors may materially adversely impact the businesses and value of our ownership interests in DNB, Alight and BKFE.

Item 1C.     Cybersecurity
At Cannae, the board of directors oversees management’s process for identifying and mitigating risks, including cybersecurity risks. Senior leadership, including our Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), works diligently to identify, assess and manage material risks through our Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") program. As part of that program, we conduct risk assessments to identify and assess our material business, operational and environmental risks and works with our management team to develop strategies and plans to mitigate and manage those risks, including cybersecurity risks related to the use of third-party service providers.
23

Table of Contents
Our ERM program is overseen by a group of proficient individuals and is tailored to the unique structure of our business. As a holding company with a small group of highly qualified employees, we are well positioned to maintain operations in the event of a disaster or a material disruption to our information technology ("IT") infrastructure and networks. Our CISO has extensive information technology and program management experience as do many of the employees in the information security group for our third-party provider. Our CISO, as well as others in our third-party provider's information security group, hold certifications such as the Certified Information System Security Professional certification. Each of our various businesses separately maintains business continuity functions that adhere to the unique requirements of their business.
On an ongoing basis, management assesses the cybersecurity risks of Cannae and aligns its procedures and its audit plan with the identified and addressable risks. The underlying controls of the cyber risk management program are based on the recognized standards as outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework. We utilize a third party to manage our IT network and processes and our ERM personnel work directly with the provider on all aspects of the Company's IT infrastructure and cybersecurity risks. Risks are evaluated over various timeframes; however, the focus of management’s risk assessment is on risks to the long-term solvency and sustainability of the ongoing operations of Cannae. Risks with the potential for an adverse impact to the Company in the near term are prioritized to the extent they present a material risk to the financial viability of the Company.
We apply a comprehensive approach to the mitigation of identified security risks, including monitoring our third-party IT service provider and management of our unconsolidated affiliates. As a holding company with relatively low volumes of personnel and third-party data, we have established policies, procedures and controls, including those related to privacy, information security and cybersecurity, and we employ a broad and diversified set of IT risk monitoring and risk mitigation techniques tailored to the unique nature of our business, including threat and vulnerability management, security monitoring, identity and access management, phishing awareness, risk oversight, third-party risk management, disaster recovery and business continuity management.
In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we have established protocols for management's response to incidents and we regularly test those protocols with appropriate management personnel. Such protocols include an incident response playbook with the assessment of cybersecurity risks and procedures and hierarchies for escalating and reporting incidents to executive management, the board of directors, investors, government agencies and the general public.
The employees at our consolidated companies are the strongest assets in protecting information and mitigating risk. We monitor the security practices of our employees, including training programs that focus on applicable privacy, security, legal, and regulatory requirements that provide ongoing enhancement of their respective security and risk cultures. Our employees participate in an annual Information Security Training.
The Board administers its risk oversight function directly and through committees and our Board has a strong focus on cybersecurity. Our approaches to cybersecurity and privacy are overseen by the audit committee. At each regular meeting of the audit committee of our Board, management provides reports relating to existing and emerging risk at our companies, including, as appropriate, cyber and data security risks, and any security incidents. At least annually (or more frequently in the event of material changes to the Company) the update to the audit committee includes a summary of management’s complete reassessment of the Company’s risk and control environment identified through our ERM program. Our audit committee chairman reports on these discussions to our Board on a quarterly basis.

accounting. If an investor does not possess a controlling financial interest over an investee but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies, the investor must account for such an investment under the equity method of accounting. For investments in common stock or in-substance common stock of an investee, which an investor does not control, the general but rebuttable presumption exists that an ownership of greater than 20% of the outstanding equitycommon stock of an investee indicates the investor has significant influence. For investments in partnerships and similar entities for which an investor does not control, equity method of accounting for the investment is generally required unless the investor's interest is so minor that the investor has virtually no influence.
In the ordinary course of our business, we make investments in companies that provide us with varying degrees of control and influence over the underlying investees through our level of ownership of the outstanding equity of the investee, participation in management of the investee, participation on the board of directors of investees,the investee, and/or legal agreements with other investors with control implications. As a result, our analysis of the appropriate accounting for our various ownership interests often requires judgment regarding the level of control, significant influence or lack thereof the Company has over each investee. If we are required to account at fair value for certain of our ownership interests in which we have concluded the Company has significant influence resulting in the application of the equity method of accounting, the impact of such change could significantly impact the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
For example, as of March 31, 2020, our voting agreement with Ceridian was terminated and, asAs a result we are no longer ableof our sales of Paysafe common stock, certain of our rights to exert influence over the composition and quantity of Ceridian'snominate members to Paysafe's board of directors. In combination with thedirectors pursuant to a shareholders agreement were reduced. As a result of our reduction in our ownershipgovernance rights over Paysafe's board of Ceridian resulting from the sale of shares in February 2020,directors, we no longer exercise significant influence over Ceridian.Paysafe as of the fourth quarter of 2023. As of MarchDecember 31, 2020,2023 we began accountingaccount for our investment in CeridianPaysafe at fair value pursuant to the investment in equity security guidance of ASC 321.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates - impairment monitoring. On an ongoing basis, management monitors our investments in unconsolidated affiliates to determine whether there are indications that the fair value of an investment may be other-than-temporarily below our recorded book value of the investment. Factors considered when determining whether a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary include but are not limited to: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than book value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
As of September 30,For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value ofwe recorded impairment charges to our investmentinterest in Paysafe based on quoted market prices was $418.8of $236.0 million and $391.8 million, respectively, which are included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the book value of our investmentyears then ended.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an impairment to our interest in Sightline of $391.8$70.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. 2023. Our interest was determined to be impaired in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of Sightline, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on Sightline's business. The aggregate fair market value of our ownership of Sightline equity was approximately $162.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and was based on a valuation using a hybrid discounted cash flow and market comparison approach. The fair value measurement is considered a level 3 fair value measure. The primary inputs in the valuation were the forecasted results of operations of Sightline and the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The primary significant unobservable input used was the 29% discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
In the year-ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an impairment to our interest in System1 of $63.9 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The investment was determined to be impaired in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of System1, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on System1's business. As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in System1 accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $96.5 million. Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of System1 common stock was approximately $32.7 million as of September 30, 2023.
As of December 31, 2021,2023, the fair value of our investmentownership interest in PaysafeAlight based on quoted market prices has decreased to $233.7was $447.6 million and the book value of our recorded asset for Alight was $507.2 million. As of the date of this Annual Report, management believes the decrease inWhile the fair value of our investmentinterest in PaysafeAlight is temporarybelow our book value, there are no other indicators that our interest is other-than-temporarily impaired. Alight has generally outperformed market expectations and expects to recoverour expectations for its results of operations from when we initially invested in Alight and there are no indications that the recorded book value of our investment. If Paysafe's results of operations, financial condition or market conditionsinterest will not be recoverable at this time. Due to these factors, we consider the decline in the payment processing industry deteriorate, we mayvalue to be required to record an impairment to our recorded investment for Paysafe in future periods.
Valuation of investments. The fair values of financial instruments presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are estimates of the fair values at a specific point in time using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Estimates that utilize unobservable inputs are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data.
The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels, which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.    Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Table of Contents
Level 2.    Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3.    Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.

AAII FPA
The AAII FPA2023. Though we do not currently believe our interest in Alight is accounted for at fair value pursuant to ASC Topic 321. We utilized a Monte Carlo Simulation in determiningother-than-temporarily impaired, because the fair value of this agreement, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Monte Carlo Simulation model simulatescurrently below the current security price to a simulated date for the consummation of the underlying initial business combination based on probabilities of consummation. Thebook value of the agreement is then calculated as the difference between the future simulated price and the fixed purchase price for the underlying security to be purchased. The primary unobservable input utilizedour interest in determining theAlight, further declines in fair value of the AAII FPA is the probabilityinterest, deterioration in Alight's actual or forecasted results of consummation of the AAII Initial Business Combination. The probability assigned to the consummation of the AAII Initial Business Combination was 80%. Determination of such probability is based on a hybrid approach which considers observed success rates of business combinations for SPACs, the sponsor of AAII's track record for consummating similar transactions and the current market for SPAC transactions. Based on the total fair value of the AAII FPA as of December 31, 2021,operations or adverse changes in the probability utilized will notUS macroeconomic environment could result in a changean impairment charge in fair value that is significant or materialfuture periods to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
AAII Warrants
The AAII Warrants are accounted forrecord our asset at fair value pursuant to ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging. These private placement warrants are valued using the trading price of AAII's publicly traded warrants (NYSE: ASZ-WT) and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

S1 Backstop Agreement
The S1 Backstop Agreement is considered a written option and accounted for at fair value. We utilized a Black-Scholes option pricing formula to determine the fair value of the S1 Backstop Agreement, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement. The value is calculated based on the common stock price of Trebia, the amount of time the S1 Backstop Agreement is expected to be outstanding, risk free rates and the volatility of the underlying common stock of Trebia.

Accounting for Income Taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted.
As of December 31, 2023, we had a net deferred tax asset of $82.0 million, which primarily includes $41.6 million related to temporary differences for our investments held through partnerships and $35.2 million for holding company net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards. One of the factors used in assessing the need for a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets is whether a company is in a three-year cumulative book loss position and for the three years ended December 31, 2023, the Company is in a cumulative book loss position. The Company is relying on deferred tax liabilities, and the ability to carry back capital losses, as sources of income to facilitate the recovery of its deferred tax assets. The Company’s prospective investment strategy, fluctuations in the fair market value of its ownership interests prior to any dispositions and other factors may influence the timing of reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities and their ultimate impact on taxable income or loss, which could have an effect on the recoverability of deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has a valuation allowance of $4.6 million related to state NOLs as it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will not be realized before the NOLs expire. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income and available excess capital gain from prior year periods that will allow us to realize our other deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor the recoverability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and may need to record a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset in future periods.

The increasedecrease was primarily driven by an increaseattributable to approximately $79.6 million of incremental revenue included in the year ended December 31, 2022 associated with stores that were closed prior to December 31, 2023 and a decline in comparable store sales driven by the reduced impact of social restrictions imposed by state and local governments in connection with COVID-19 in 2021 compared to 2020. sales.
Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $483.6$74.1 million, or 46.4%10.5%, in the year ended December 31, 20202022 from 2019.2021. The decrease was primarily driven by: (1)attributable to decreased revenue related to the Blue Ribbon Reorganization, which resulted in the deconsolidation of Blue Ribbon for the period from January 27, 2020 through October 2, 2020, (2) the closing orour sale of company-owned restaurants primarily associated with our O'Charley's,the Village Inn, Baker's Square, and Bakers SquareLegendary Baking concepts subsequent to December 31, 2019in 2021 and (3) a decrease in comparable storethe closure and sales driven by social restrictions imposed by state and local governments in connection with COVID-19 in March 2020, which resulted in the closing of dining rooms for substantially all of our restaurants from late March 2020 and into May 2020. The decrease was partially offset by an overall increase in the average guest check in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019.
underperforming O'Charley's locations. Revenue associated with our Legendary Baking, Village Inn, and Baker's Square brands was $62.0 million $53.1 million, and $312.5 million, respectively, in the yearsyear ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.2021. Revenue recorded for these brands in the year ended December 31, 2021 represents these brands' revenues through their respective dates of sales in the third quarter of 2021 and subsequent run-off sales of the remaining inventory of Legendary Baking. Revenue recorded for these brands in the year ended December 31, 2020 represents Blue Ribbon's revenue for the period from January 1, 2020 through January 27, 2020, the date of Blue Ribbon's filing for bankruptcy, and the brands' revenues for the period from October 2, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
Comparable Store Sales. One method we use in evaluating the performance of our restaurants is to compare sales results for restaurants period over period. A new restaurant is included in our comparable store sales figures starting in the first period following the restaurant's first seventy-eight weeks of operations. Changes in comparable store sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable store group of restaurants over a specified period of time. This measure highlights the performance of existing restaurants, as the impact of new restaurant openings is excluded. Comparable store sales for our 99 Restaurants brand changed 39.4%(2.1)%, (32.8)%7.5%, and (0.4)%39.4% in the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively, from the prior fiscal years. The decrease in 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The increase in 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit offset by a decrease in guest counts. The increase in 2021 is primarily attributable to increased guest counts resulting from the loosening of COVID-19 restrictions and an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The decrease in 2020 is primarily attributable COVID-19 restrictions. Comparable store sales for our O'Charley's brand changed 24.7%(3.4)%, (22.5)(5.8)% and (2.5)%24.7% in the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, respectively, from the prior fiscal years. The decrease in 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The decrease in 2022 is primarily attributable to decreased guest counts offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The increase in 2021 is primarily attributable to increased guest counts resulting from the abatement of COVID-19 restrictions and an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit. The decrease in 2020 is primarily attributable to lower guest counts resulting from COVID-19.

Item 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Equity Price Risk
We are exposed to market price fluctuations associated with the Company's equity securities holdings. Equity price risk is the risk that we will incur economic losses due to adverse changes in equity prices. At December 31, 2021,2023, we held $1,045.1$290.9 million in equity securities which are recorded at fair value. The carrying values of investmentsequity securities subject to equity price risks are directly derived from or valued in part using, quoted market prices. See Note C - Fair Value Measurements to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our fair value measurements for equity securities. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.
For purposes of this Annual Report, we perform a sensitivity analysis to determine the book effects that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of our equity securities. At December 31, 2021,2023, a 20% increase (decrease) in market prices, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase (decrease) in the fair value of our equity securities portfolio of $209.0 million$58.2 million.
See discussion of our accounting for interests in unconsolidated affiliates under the header Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Item 7 of this Annual Report for further discussion of the potential impact of the Company's monitoring of impairment of its interests in unconsolidated affiliates.
Commodity Price Risk
In our Restaurant Group segment, we are exposed to market price fluctuations in beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices. Given the historical volatility of beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices, these fluctuations can materially impact the food and beverage costs incurred in our Restaurant Group segment. While our Restaurant Group

Table of Contents
companies have taken steps to qualify multiple suppliers who meet our standards as suppliers for our restaurants and have entered into agreements with suppliers for some of the commodities used in our restaurant operations, there can be no assurance that future supplies and costs for such commodities will not fluctuate due to weather and other market conditions outside of our control. Consequently, such commodities can be subject to unforeseen supply and cost fluctuations. Dairy costs can also fluctuate due to government regulation. Because we typically set our menu prices in advance of our food product prices, our menu prices cannot immediately incorporate changing costs of food items. To the extent that we are unable to pass the increased costs on to our guests through price increases, our results of operations would be adversely affected. We do not use

financial instruments to hedge our risk to market price fluctuations in beef, seafood, produce and other food product prices at this time.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, the period from July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (Successor), and the period from January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 (Predecessor), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill Impairment Assessment

Description of the MatterAt December 31, 2023, the Company’s Health Solutions, Wealth Solutions, Cloud Services, and Professional Services reporting units had $3,084 million, $128 million, $258 million and $73 million of goodwill, respectively, as disclosed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or when impairment indicators are present. The Company determined the fair value of its Health Solutions, Wealth Solutions and Professional Services reporting units exceeded the carrying values. The Company recognized an impairment of $148 million related to the Cloud Services reporting unit during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Table of Contents
Auditing management’s goodwill impairment assessment was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The more subjective assumptions used in the analysis were projections of future revenue growth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and intangible amortization margin, the long term growth rate, and the discount rate, which are all affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management's review of the significant assumptions discussed above. We also tested management's controls over the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the valuation.

To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We involved our valuation specialists to evaluate the Company’s model, methods, and the more sensitive assumptions utilized, such as the discount rate. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry, market and economic trends. In addition, we assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in the assumptions, and tested the reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company. We also tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management in its analysis.

Measurement of the Tax Receivable Agreement Liability

Description of the MatterAs discussed in Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with certain owners of Alight Holdings prior to the Business Combination, which is a contractual commitment to distribute 85% of any tax benefits (“TRA Payment”), realized or deemed to be realized by the Company to the parties to the TRA. At December 31, 2023, the Company’s liability due under the TRA (“TRA liability”) that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis was $634 million.

Auditing management’s accounting for the TRA liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is especially challenging and judgmental due to the complex model used to calculate the TRA liability. Also, the liability recorded is based on several inputs, including the discount rate applied to the TRA payments. Significant changes in the discount rate could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our AuditWe obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process of measuring the TRA liability at fair value, including management's controls over the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the valuation and the controls over management's review of the significant inputs discussed above.

Our audit procedures included, among others, testing the measurement of the TRA liability measured at fair value by evaluating whether the calculation of the TRA liability was in accordance with the terms set out in the TRA and recalculating the TRA liability. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rate by testing the third-party inputs and the valuation methodology employed.

Description of Business
We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long-term.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. We are a long-term owner that secures control and governance rights of other companies primarily to engage in their lines of business and we have no preset time constraints dictating when we sell or dispose of our businesses. We believe that our long-term ownership and active involvement in the management and operations of companies helps maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders. Our primary assets as of December 31, 20212023 include our ownership interests in Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. ("Dun & Bradstreet" or "D&B"); Dayforce, Inc., ("Dayforce", formerly known as Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc. ("Ceridian"),; Alight, Inc. ("Alight"),; Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe"),; Sightline Payments Holdings, LLC ("Sightline" or "Sightline Payments"), Optimal Blue Holdco, LLC; System1, Inc. ("Optimal Blue"System1"); Black Knight Football and Entertainment, LP ("BKFE"); Computer Services, Inc. ("CSI"); High Sierra Distillery, LP ("Minden Mill"); AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"); majority equity ownership stakes in O'Charley's Holdings, LLC ("O'Charley's") and; 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants"); and various other controlled portfoliosubsidiary companies and certain minority equity ownership interests.
See Note QE - Segment Information for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments.
We conduct our business through our wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Holdings, LLC ("Cannae LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company. Our board of directors ("Board") oversees the management of the Company, Cannae LLC and its businesses, and the performance of our external manager, Trasimene Capital Management, LLC (“Trasimene”("Trasimene" or our “Manager”"Manager").
Split-off of Cannae from FNF
On November 17, 2017, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) redeemed each outstanding share of its FNF Ventures ("FNFV") Group common stock, par value $0.0001, for 1 share of common stock, par value $0.0001, of a newly formed entity, Cannae (the "Split-Off"). In conjunction with the Split-Off, FNF contributed to us its portfolio of investments unrelated to its primary insurance and real estate operations, which included majority and minority equity ownership interests in a number of entities and certain fixed income investments. On November 20, 2017, Cannae common stock began “regular-way” trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the “CNNE” stock symbol.
Following the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae operate as separate, publicly-traded companies. In connection with the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae entered into certain agreements in order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between the two companies after the Split-Off and to provide for an orderly transition. These agreements include a reorganization agreement, a corporate services agreement, a registration rights agreement, a voting agreement and a tax matters agreement.
The reorganization agreement provides for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions (including the internal restructuring) required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Cannae and FNF with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off. The tax matters agreement provides for the allocation and indemnification of tax liabilities and benefits between FNF and Cannae and other agreements related to tax matters. The voting and registration rights agreements provide for certain appearance and voting restrictions and registration rights on shares of Cannae owned by FNF after consummation of the Split-Off. Pursuant to the corporate services agreement (the "CSA"), FNF has provided Cannae with certain "back office" services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. Cannae will reimburse FNF for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by FNF in providing these services.
On October 7, 2020, the Company entered into an Extension of Corporate Services Agreement (the “Extension”) with FNF. Pursuant to the Extension, the term of the CSA was extended for two years until November 17, 2022 (the “Extended Term”). During the Extended Term, FNF will provide certain corporate services to Cannae at FNF’s Standard Allocation (as defined in the CSA), plus 10%, and Cannae agrees to pay or reimburse FNF for any fees, costs or other expenses paid by FNF to third parties in connection with the corporate services. The CSA will automatically renew for successive one-year terms,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)




unless the parties mutually agree to terminate the CSA at least thirty days prior to the applicable termination date. No later than 30 days prior to such termination date, the parties shall negotiate mutually agreeable arm’s length terms for each additional one year term.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and include the historical accounts as well as wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is allocated certain corporate overhead and management services expenses from FNF based on the terms of the CSA and our proportionate share of the expense determined on actual usage and our best estimate of management's allocation of time. Both FNF and Cannae believe such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual results of operations or cash flows of the Company had the Company been operating as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented or the amounts that will be incurred by the Company in the future. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature.
All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our ownership interests in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or as equity securities. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to majority-owned subsidiaries with the appropriate noncontrolling interest that represents the portion of equity not related to our ownershipmajority-owned subsidiaries' net earnings or loss that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders of such subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of equity owned by noncontrolling shareholders in each period.our consolidated subsidiaries.
Management Estimates
The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include the carrying amount and depreciation of property and equipment (Note E), the valuation of acquired intangible assets (Note H and Note I),nonrecurring fair value measurements in accounting for certain equity investments (Note C),B - Investments) and accounting for income taxes (Note L)L - Income Taxes). Actual results could differ from estimates.

Additionally, in March 2021, Cannae funded a convertible note to QOMPLX for $12.5 million that matures on March 3, 2022 (the "QOMPLX Note"). During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, Cannae funded an additional $6.0 million, which was added to the existing QOMPLX Note.
On August 17, 2021, QOMPLX and Tailwind mutually agreed to terminate the Tailwind QOMPLX Merger citing market conditions, which prevented certain closing conditions from being satisfied. The termination of the Tailwind QOMPLX Merger also terminated the Tailwind Subscription Agreement. The termination had no effect on the QOMPLX Note.
In November 2021, QOMPLX converted all of its outstanding convertible notes into preferred stock and redeemed $7.5 million of such preferred stock held by Cannae. As a result, Cannae holds approximately 14.5 million shares of preferred stock of QOMPLX representing approximately 19.3% of QOMPLX’s outstanding equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid instruments, including money market instruments and certificates of deposit, purchased as part of cash management with original maturities of three months or less, and certain amounts in transit from credit and debit card processors, are considered cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value.
Investments
Short term investments consist of highly liquid instruments, primarily certificates of deposit and corporate debt securities with high credit quality, purchased as part of cash management that have an original maturity of between three months and four months and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Equity securities includeincludes our investment in CeridianDayforce and Paysafe and are carried at fair value. Recognized gains and losses on equity securities are determined on the basis of the fair value of the securities at the balance sheet date or on a trade date basis.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are recorded using the equity method of accounting.
Fixed maturity securities, which may be sold prior to maturity, are carried at fair value and are classified as available for sale as of the balance sheet dates. Fair values for fixed maturity securities are principally a function of current market conditions and are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are unobservable. Discount or premium is recorded for the difference between the purchase price and the principal amount. The discount or premium is amortized or accrued using the interest method and is recorded as an adjustment to interest, investment and other income. The interest method results in the recognition of a constant rate of return on the investment equal to the prevailing rate at the time of purchase or at the time of subsequent adjustments of book value.
Recognized gains and losses on the sale of investments accounted for under the equity method are determined on the basis of the costbook value of the specific

See Note B - Investments and credited or charged directly to a separate component of equity. If any unrealized losses on available for sale fixed maturity securities are determined to be other-than-temporary, such unrealized losses are recognized as realized losses. Unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary if factors exist that cause us to believe that the value will not increase to a level sufficient to recover our cost basis. Some factors considered in evaluating whether or not a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary include (i) our need and intent to sell the investment prior to a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery in value; (ii) the duration and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost; and (iii) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer. Such reviews are inherently uncertain and the value of the investment may not fully recover or may decline in future periods resulting in a realized loss.
See NotesNote C and D- Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our accounting for equity securities and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements are estimates of the fair value at a specific point in time using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Estimates that use unobservable inputs are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and significant judgment in the interpretation of current market data. We do not necessarily intend to dispose of or liquidate such instruments prior to maturity. See Note C for further details.
Distributions from Unconsolidated Affiliates
We classify distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows using the cumulative earnings approach. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions are considered returns on investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities unless the Company’s cumulative distributions from an investee received in prior periods exceed the cumulative equity in earnings of such investee. When cumulative distributions from an investee exceed cumulative equity in earnings of the investee, such excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as a cash inflow from investing activities.
Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of trade receivables, inventory, prepaid operating expenses, the current portion of notes receivable, deposits and other miscellaneous current assets.
Trade receivables are primarily for the Restaurant Group and consist primarily of business to business gift card sales, insurance-related reimbursement, rebates, tenant improvement allowances, and billings to franchisees for royalties, initial and renewal fees, equipment sales and rent. Trade receivables are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to existing receivables. The carrying values reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for trade receivables approximate their fair value.

Other non-current assets also includes notes receivable from third-parties andinclude other miscellaneous non-current assets.
Leases
Refer to Note B.G - Leases.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and assumed in business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives areis reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment, through a comparison of fair value to the carrying amount. We have the option to first assess goodwill for impairment based on a review of qualitative factors to determine if events and circumstances exist that will lead to a determination that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, prior to performing a full fair-value assessment. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the quantitative impairment test is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the quantitative impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. Goodwill impairment, if any, is measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
For the yearyears ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any impairment of goodwill.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $7.8 million of impairment to goodwill in our Restaurant Group segment. The impairment charge is a result of deteriorating operating results and cash flow resulting from declining same store sales and increased costs at O'Charley's. The impairment recorded was calculated as the deficit between the carrying value of our O'Charley's reporting unit of our Restaurant Group compared to the fair value of the reporting unit determined by performing a combination of discounted cash flow and market approaches.
For the year ended December 31, 2019 we recorded $35.1 million of impairment to goodwill in our former T-System segment and $10.4 million of impairment to goodwill in our Restaurant Group segment. The impairment in our former T-System segment is primarily a result of a decline in earnings multiples from comparable public companies and lower forecasted cash flows for its reporting units. The impairment charge in our Restaurant Group is a result of deteriorating operating results and cash flow resulting from declining same store sales and increased costs, primarily in our Village Inn and Bakers Square branded stores. The impairments recorded were calculated as the deficit between the carrying value of the reporting units of each segment compared to the fair value of the reporting unit determined by performing a combination of discounted cash flow and market approaches.
Impairment to goodwill in our former T-System segment is included in Net loss from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. See Note N.
Other Intangible Assets
We have other intangible assets, not including goodwill, which consist primarily of customer relationships and contracts, trademarks and tradenames that are generally recorded in connection with acquisitions at their fair value, franchise rights, the fair value of purchased software and capitalized software development costs. Intangible assets with estimable lives are

amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In general, customer relationships are amortized over their estimated useful lives using an accelerated method, which takes into consideration expected customer attrition rates. Contractual relationships are generally amortized over their respective contractual lives. Useful lives of computer software range from three to ten years. The useful lives of our tradenames for all of our restaurant brands is fifteen years. Capitalized software development costs and purchased software are recorded at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life.
Trademarks and tradenames were generally considered intangible assets with indefinite lives and reviewed for impairment at least annually. In conjunction with our annual testing for impairment of tradenames during the fourth quarter of 2020 and in light of the deteriorating operating environment for restaurants, we changed our estimate of the useful lives of our tradenames

Property and equipment, net areis recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets: thirty to forty years for buildings and three to twenty-five years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the term of the applicable lease or the estimated useful lives of such assets. The majority of our Property and equipment relate to our Restaurant Group.
In our Restaurant Group, all direct external costs associated with obtaining the land, building and equipment for each new restaurant, as well as construction period interest, are capitalized. Direct external costs associated with obtaining the dining room and kitchen equipment, signage and other assets and equipment are also capitalized. In addition, for each new restaurant and re-branded restaurant, a portion of the internal direct costs of its real estate and construction department are also capitalized.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We recorded $0.2 million, $3.5 million, and $6.6 million of impairment expense related to Property and equipment in our Restaurant Group segment in

Insurance Reserves
Our Restaurant Group companies are currently self-insured for a portion of its workers' compensation, general liability, and liquor liability losses (collectively, casualty losses) as well as certain other insurable risks. To mitigate the cost of the Restaurant Group's exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we make annual decisions to either retain the risks of loss up to a certain maximum per occurrence, aggregate loss limits negotiated with its insurance carriers, or fully insure those risks. Our Restaurant Group companies are also self-insured for healthcare claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for such retained liabilities for casualty losses and healthcare claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by third-party actuaries. As of December 31, 2021, our Restaurant Group companies2023, we were committed under letters of credit totaling $10.8$8.9 million issued primarily in connection with casualty insurance programs.programs for our Restaurant Group employees.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The impact of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred taxes, if any, is applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and reflected in the financial statements in the period enacted.
We recognize the benefits of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements only after determining a more likely than not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. When facts and circumstances change, we reassess these probabilities and record any changes in the financial statements as appropriate. Uncertain tax positions are accounted for by determining the minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. This determination requires the use of judgment in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are recognized and measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of income tax expense.

During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020,2023, 2022, and 2019,2021, the Company incurred $16.0$17.5 million, $15.7$17.0 million, and $30.0$16.0 million of advertising and marketing costs, respectively, related to advertising in our Restaurant Group and in our real estate operations. These costs are included in Other operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Comprehensive Earnings
We report comprehensive earnings in accordance with GAAP on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings. Total comprehensive earnings are defined as all changes in shareholders' equity during a period, other than those resulting from investments by and distributions to shareholders. While total comprehensive earnings is the activity in a period and is largely driven by net earnings in that period, accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss represents the cumulative balance of other comprehensive earnings, net of tax, as of the balance sheet date. Amounts reclassified to net earnings relate to realized losses and are included in Recognized (losses) gains, and losses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our policy is to release income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income at such time as the earnings or loss of the related activity are recognized in earnings (e.g., upon sale of an investment).

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Stock-based compensation expense includes restricted stock awards granted in Cannae common stock to directors and certain members of management. We account for stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method. Under the fair value method of accounting, compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the award at the grant date, using quoted market prices of the underlying stock, and recognized over the service period.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain shares of restricted stock, which have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.
Instruments that provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no antidilutive shares outstanding. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares of unvested restricted stock, respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share because including such shares would be anti-dilutive.

Equity in (losses) earnings of our operating leases was approximately ten years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our operating lease agreements do not contain any material buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases include 1 or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We include options to renew, not to exceed a total lease term of twenty years, in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when they are considered reasonably certain of exercise. We consider a lease reasonably certain for renewal when the duration of the lease extensions are in the foreseeable future and related to assets for which continued use is reasonably assured.
Excluding certain immaterial classes of leases in our Restaurant Group, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components for any of our right of use assets.
Our operating lease liabilities are determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate that represents our best estimate of the incremental borrowing rate our subsidiaries would have to pay to borrow money to finance the asset over the underlying lease term and for an amount equal to the lease payments. Our discount rate is based on interest rates associated with comparable public company secured debt for companies similar to our operating subsidiaries and of similar duration to the underlying lease. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liabilities was 6.97% and 7.08%, respectively.
Our lease costs are directly attributable to restaurant operations, primarily for real estate and to a lesser extent certain restaurant equipment. Operating lease costs of $37.3 million, $43.2 million and $58.5 million are included in Cost of restaurant revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Operationsunconsolidated affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 2020consisted of the following:

Dun & Bradstreet
Based on quoted market prices, the fair market value of our ownership of Dun & Bradstreet common stock was $924.9 million as of December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, we hold less than 20% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet but account for our ownership interest under the equity method of accounting because we exert significant influence: (i) through our 18.0% ownership and (ii) because certain of our senior management and directors serve on D&B's board of directors.
As of December 31, 2023, there was a $211.9 million difference between the amount of our recorded ownership interest in D&B and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in the net assets of D&B. As of December 31, 2023, $127.4 million of such basis difference is allocated to amortizing intangible assets, $59.7 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets, $26.8 million to deferred tax liabilities and the remaining basis difference is allocated to equity method goodwill, which represents the excess of our basis difference over our equity in D&B's net assets that are not attributable to their identifiable net assets.

Sightline
In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded an impairment to our interest in Sightline of $70.2 million which is included in Recognized losses, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The investment was determined to be impaired in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of Sightline, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on Sightline's business. The aggregate fair market value of our ownership of Sightline equity was approximately $162.3 million as of September 30, 2023 and was based on a valuation using a hybrid discounted cash flow and market comparison approach. The fair value measurement is considered a level 3 fair value measure. The primary inputs in the valuation were the forecasted results of operations of Sightline and the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The primary significant unobservable input used was the 29% discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis.
As of December 31, 2023, there was a $112.7 million difference between the amount of our recorded ownership interest in Sightline and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in net assets of Sightline. As of December 31, 2023, such basis difference is allocated: (i) $92.5 million to customer relationships, (ii) $45.7 million to developed technology, $4.4 million to tradenames, and $30.0 million to deferred tax liabilities. Customer relationships are amortized over ten years and developed technology and tradenames are amortized over five years. Amortization expense of $7.3 million and $7.7 million is included in our equity in losses of Sightline for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We report our equity in earnings or loss of Sightline on a three-month lag and we acquired our initial ownership interest on March 31, 2021. Accordingly, our net loss for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 includes our equity in Sightline’s net loss for the period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023, October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022 and from April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021, respectively.

The investment was determined to be impaired in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of System1, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on System1's business. As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in System1 accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $96.5 million. Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of System1 common stock was approximately $32.7 million as of September 30, 2023.
We report our equity in earnings or loss of System1 on a three-month lag and we acquired our initial ownership interest on January 27, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $121.9 million and $114.8 million, respectively, recorded for such investments, which is included in Other long-term investments and noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded impairments of $9.0 million and $32.8 million, respectively, to certain of our equity ownership interests without readily determinable fair values. The amount of the impairments was determined based on the valuation of the investee implied by actual or contemplated sales to a third party.
Note C.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels, which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.
Level 2.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3.Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.
The Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values as maturities are less than three months.

underlying security to be purchased. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the AAII FPA is the probability of consummation of the business combinations of each underlying transaction. The probability assigned to the consummation of the AAII Initial Business Combination was 80%. Determination of such probability is based on a hybrid approach which considers observed success rates of business combinations for SPACs, the sponsor of AAII's track record for consummating similar transactions and the current market for SPAC transactions. Based on the total fair value of the AAII FPA as of December 31, 2021, changes in the probability utilized will not result in a change in fair value that is significant or material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
AAII Warrants
The AAII Warrants are accounted for at fair value pursuant to ASC Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging. These private placement warrants are valued using the trading price of AAII's publicly traded warrants (NYSE: ASZ-WT) and are considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
S1 Backstop Agreement
The S1 Backstop Agreement is considered a written option and accounted for at fair value. We utilized a Black-Scholes option pricing formula to determine the fair value of the S1 Backstop Agreement, which is considered to be a Level 2 fair value measurement. The value is calculated based on the common stock price of Trebia, the amount of time the S1 Backstop Agreement is expected to be outstanding, risk free rates and the volatility of the underlying common stock of Trebia.

Dun & Bradstreet
Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of Dun & Bradstreet common stock was approximately $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, we hold less than 20% of the outstanding common equity of Dun & Bradstreet but account for our ownership interest under the equity method of accounting because we exert significant influence: (a) through our 15.8% ownership, (2) because certain of our senior management and directors serve on D&B's board of directors, and (3) because we are party to an agreement with other of its equity sponsors pursuant to which we have agreed to collectively vote together on all matters related to the election of directors to the Dun & Bradstreet board of directors for a period of three years.
Effective January 1, 2021, D&B made a change in accounting principle related to removal of lag accounting for its international operations that they believe to be preferable. The change in accounting policy was applied retrospectively by D&B. The impact of this change in accounting principle did not have a material impact to our results of operations or financial condition and was applied to our current period accounting for our ownership interest in D&B.

Paysafe
Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate value of our ownership of Paysafe common stock was $233.7 million as of December 31, 2021.
Due to significant impairments recorded by Paysafe to its intangible assets in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition on March 30, 2021, management determined the decrease in value of our ownership interest in Paysafe was other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2021. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $391.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, we hold less than 20% of the outstanding common equity of Paysafe but we account for our ownership interest under the equity method of accounting because we exert significant influence: (a) through our 8.3% direct ownership, (b) because certain of our senior management and directors serve on Paysafe's board of directors, including the chairman of our Board, William P. Foley II, who is also the chairman of Paysafe's board of directors, and (c) because we are party to an agreement with other of its equity investors pursuant to which we have the ability to appoint or be consulted on the election of the majority of the total directors of Paysafe.
As of the date of our initial acquisition of ownership interest in Paysafe, there was a $567.8 million difference between the amount of our recorded direct equity ownership interest in Paysafe and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in net assets of Paysafe. In the third quarter of 2021, the sponsor of FTAC II transferred its interest in Paysafe to its owners. As a result of the increase in our direct ownership interest in Paysafe, our basis difference was increased to $618.4 million. As a result of the impairment of our investment in the three months ended September 30, 2021, the basis difference was reduced to $224.3 million. We have evaluated the accounting treatment of such basis difference and allocated the entire remaining basis difference to equity method goodwill, which represents the excess of our basis difference over our equity in Paysafe’s net assets that are not attributable to their identifiable net assets.
We report our equity in earnings or loss of Paysafe on a three-month lag and we acquired our ownership interest on March 30, 2021. Accordingly, our net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes our equity in Paysafe’s losses for the period from March 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021. Summarized financial information for Paysafe for the relevant dates and time periods included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates and Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, respectively, is presented below.

We have evaluated the accounting treatment of such basis difference and allocated the entire basis difference to equity method goodwill, which represents the excess of our basis difference over our equity in Alight’s net assets that are not attributable to their identifiable net assets.

Note E.     PropertyC.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels, which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and Equipmentthe lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Note G.D.     Variable Interest Entities
The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are legal entities in which a group of equity investors individually lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 20202023, 2022 and 2019,2021, we are not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
As of December 31, 2021,2023 and 2022, we held variable interests in certain unconsolidated affiliates, which are primarily comprised of our ownership interests in the sponsors of FTAC, Trebia, AAIBKFE, CSI and AAII and funds that hold minority ownership interests primarily in healthcare-related entities.Minden Mill. Cannae does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we are not the primary beneficiary.
The principal risk to which these investments and funds are exposed is the credit risk of the underlying investees. Cannae has guaranteed certain payment obligations of BKFE related to investment commitments associated with its acquisitions of interests in football clubs. These BKFE obligations total an estimated amount of between approximately $36.3 million and $66.0 million as of December 31, 2023. These obligations are potentially payable at various increments over the next four years and vary based on certain performance criteria. The underlying obligation of BKFE to fund these amounts is contingent on the exercise of certain investment options by BKFE or other parties. Cannae is required to fund such payments solely to the extent BKFE is unable to meet these obligations. We do not provide any other implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to theseour VIEs.
The assets are included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
See Note DB - Investments for further discussion of our accounting for investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

Note I.     Acquisitions
On October 2, 2020, American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC ("Blue Ribbon") emerged from a reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as a set of reorganized companies. We exchanged $15.5 million of the outstanding balance under a debtor-in-possession loan (the "DIP Loan") between us and Blue Ribbon for 100% of the assets and uncompromised liabilities of Legendary Baking and VIBSQ. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination pursuant to ASC Topic 805.
The consideration transferred was determined as follows (in millions):

All notes receivable by the Company from Blue Ribbon prior to its emergence from bankruptcy of $34.0 million, inclusive of the $15.5 million exchanged for the assets and uncompromised liabilities of Legendary Baking and VIBSQ, $12.0 million of the remaining balance outstanding under the DIP Loan and converted to an intercompany term loan with us, and $6.5 million provided to Blue Ribbon as exit financing and included in the closing term loan with us upon Blue Ribbon's emergence from bankruptcy, is part of the consideration transferred because subsequent to our acquisition of Legendary Baking and VIBSQ, the remaining balance outstanding eliminates in consolidation.
Our interest in Blue Ribbon during its bankruptcy proceedings was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. In conjunction with our acquisition of Legendary Baking and VIBSQ out of bankruptcy, we revalued our interest in Blue Ribbon to fair value, which resulted in a gain of $9.5 million and is included in Recognized gains and losses, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. 2022:

Restaurant sales include food and beverage sales and gift card breakage, are net of applicable state and local sales taxes and discounts, and are recognized at a point in time as services are performed and goods are provided.
Revenue from bakery operations is recognized at a point in time in the period during which the products are shipped and control transfers to the customer. Our Restaurant Group's bakery operations were sold in 2021.
Other operating revenue consists of income generated by our resort operations, which includes sales of real estate, lodging rentals, food and beverage sales, and other income from various resort services offered. Revenue is recognized upon closing of the sale of real estate or once goods and services have been provided and billed to the customer.

There was no impairment related to contract balances.
Note G.         Leases
We are party to operating lease arrangements primarily for leased real estate for restaurants and office space. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases under ASC 842 are recorded at commencement when we are party to a contract that conveys the right for the Company to control an asset for a specified period of time. We are not a party to any material contracts considered finance leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases are recorded as Lease assets and Lease liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Our material operating leases range in term from one year to seventeen years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases was approximately eleven years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our operating lease agreements do not contain any material buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We include options to renew, not to exceed a total lease term of twenty years, in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when they are considered reasonably certain of exercise. We consider a lease reasonably certain for renewal when the duration of the lease extensions are in the foreseeable future and related to assets for which continued use is reasonably assured.
Excluding certain immaterial classes of leases in our Restaurant Group, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components for any of our right of use assets.
Our operating lease liabilities are determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate that represents our best estimate of the incremental borrowing rate our subsidiaries would have to pay to borrow money to finance the asset over the underlying lease term and for an amount equal to the lease payments. Our discount rate is based on interest rates associated with comparable public company secured debt for companies similar to our operating subsidiaries and of similar duration to the underlying lease. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liabilities was 7.43% and 7.01%, respectively.
Our lease costs are directly attributable to restaurant operations, primarily for real estate and to a lesser extent certain restaurant equipment. Operating lease costs of $30.5 million, $36.4 million and $37.3 million are included in Cost of restaurant revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all of the available evidence using a “more"more likely than not”not" standard. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Management evaluated the Company’s deferred tax assets for recoverability using a consistent approach that considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, in particular, the Company’s historical profitability and any projections of future taxable income or potential future tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 20212023 and 2020,2022, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $3.0$4.6 million and $3.3$3.6 million, respectively, related to state NOLs, as it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will not be realized before the NOLs expire.

Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary courseDisaggregation of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.Revenue
Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under “dram shop” laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at 1revenue consists of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.following:
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively “legal proceedings”) on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts that represents our best estimate is recorded. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our accrual for settlements of legal proceedings was not considered material. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period in the event of an unfavorable outcome, at present, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On September 23, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit styled Oklahoma Firefighters Pension & Retirement System, derivatively on behalf of Cannae Holdings, Inc. v. William P. Foley, II, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, certain Board members and officers of the Company, and the Manager, alleging breach of fiduciary duties relating to the Company’s Management Services Agreement. The plaintiff further alleges the Board breached their fiduciary duties by approving bonuses in connection with the initial public offering of Ceridian and the approval of an Investment Success Incentive Plan in August 2018. Along with the Complaint, the plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to the count seeking to void the Management Services Agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Management Services Agreement and plaintiff withdrew its motion for partial summary judgment as moot. On February 1, 2021, the court ordered the plaintiff's summary judgment motion withdrawn and dismissed the related count of the plaintiff's complaint. On February 18, 2021, our Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") consisting of 2 of the Board’s Directors, and has authorized the SLC, among other things, to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the lawsuit. The Board has also given the SLC the sole authority and power to consider and determine whether or not prosecution of the claims asserted in the lawsuit is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and what action the Company should take with respect to the lawsuit. On March 9, 2021, the Court entered a stipulated Order staying the action for six months to allow the SLC to investigate, review, and evaluate the facts, circumstances, and claims asserted in or relating to the action and to determine the Company’s response thereto. The stay has subsequently been extended through April 10, 2022. The defendants will contest the remaining claims in the action vigorously.

At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of our outstanding notes payable approximates fair value and are considered Level 2 financial liabilities.
2020 Margin Facility
On November 30, 2020, Cannae Funding C, LLC ("Borrower 1"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, and Cannae Funding D, LLC ("Borrower 2" and, together with Borrower 1, the "Borrowers"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the "2020 Margin Facility") with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada. On June 16, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, lower the immediate capacity from $250 million to $150 million. On August 17, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the agreement to August 17, 2026, (ii) add 40 million shares of common stock of Alight to the pool of collateral, and (iii) change the spread from 358 to 375 basis points.
Under the 2020 Margin Facility, as amended, the Borrowers may borrow up to $150.0 million in revolving loans and, subject to certain terms and conditions, may enter into an amendment to the 2020 Margin Facility to borrow up to $500.0 million in revolving loans (including the initial revolving loans) from the same initial lender and/or additional lenders on substantially identical terms and conditions as the initial revolving loans. The 2020 Margin Facility matures on August 17, 2026. Outstanding amounts under the 2020 Margin Facility, if any, bear interest quarterly at a rate per annum equal to a three-month adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin. The 2020 Margin Facility requires the Borrowers to maintain a certain loan-to-value ratio (based on the value of Dayforce, D&B and Alight shares). In the event the Borrowers fail to maintain such loan-to-value ratio, the Borrowers must post additional cash collateral under the Loan Agreement and/or elect to repay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder, or sell the Dayforce, D&B and/or Alight shares and use the proceeds from such sale to prepay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder.
As of December 31, 2023, there was no outstanding balance under the 2020 Margin Facility, $150.0 million of unused capacity with an option to increase the capacity to $500.0 million upon amendment, and 4 million shares of Dayforce, 35 million shares of D&B and 40 million shares of Alight were pledged as collateral for future borrowings under the facility.
FNF Revolver
On November 17, 2017, FNF issued to Cannae a revolver note in 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 and matures on November 17, 2025. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion.
On June 28, 2022, we completed the repurchase of all of our common stock previously held by FNF; accordingly, there is no incremental borrowing capacity available under the FNF Revolver. As of December 31, 2023, there was a $84.7 million outstanding principal balance under the FNF Revolver which incurred interest at 9.97%.
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. The Company also repaid $25.0 million of outstanding principal under the FNF Revolver resulting in an outstanding principal balance of $59.7 million.

The increase in our net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023 from 2022 is primarily attributable to equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, sales of Dayforce shares and impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset sales of Paysafe shares and mark-to-market gains recorded on Dayforce.

The Company’s gross federal and state NOL carryforwards were $258.6 million and $92.3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The NOLs expire in various tax years through 2043.
ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all of the available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Management evaluated the Company’s deferred tax assets for recoverability using a consistent approach that considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, in particular, the Company’s historical profitability and any projections of future taxable income or potential future tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $4.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to state NOLs, as it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will not be realized before the NOLs expire.
Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded for differences between tax positions the Company takes, or expects to take, on its income tax return compared to the benefit recognized for financial statement purposes. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021.
The Company's federal and state income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 remain subject to examination.

Restaurant revenue consists of restaurant sales, bakery operations, and, to a lesser extent, franchise revenue and other revenue. Restaurant sales include food and beverage sales and gift card breakage, are net of applicable state and local sales taxes and discounts, and are recognized at a point in time as services are performed and goods are provided.
Revenue from bakery operations is recognized at a point in time in the period during which the products are shipped and control transfers to the customer.
Franchise revenue and other revenue consist of development fees and royalties on sales by franchised units. Initial franchise fees are recognized as income upon commencement of the franchise operation and completion of all material services and conditions by the Company. Royalties are calculated as a percentage of the franchisee sales and recognized Our Restaurant Group's bakery operations were sold in the period in which the sales are generated. Revenue resulting from the sale of gift cards is recognized in the period in which the gift card is redeemed and is recorded as deferred revenue until recognized.2021.
Other operating revenue consists of income generated by our resort operations, which includes sales of real estate, lodging rentals, food and beverage sales, and other income from various resort services offered.

There was no impairment related to contract balances.
Note G.         Leases
We are party to operating lease arrangements primarily for leased real estate for restaurants and office space. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases under ASC 842 are recorded at commencement when we are party to a contract that conveys the right for the Company to control an asset for a specified period of time. We are not a party to any material contracts considered finance leases. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases are recorded as Lease assets and Lease liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Our material operating leases range in term from one year to seventeen years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases was approximately eleven years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our operating lease agreements do not contain any material buyout options, residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
Most of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by varying amounts. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. We include options to renew, not to exceed a total lease term of twenty years, in our measurement of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when they are considered reasonably certain of exercise. We consider a lease reasonably certain for renewal when the duration of the lease extensions are in the foreseeable future and related to assets for which continued use is reasonably assured.
Excluding certain immaterial classes of leases in our Restaurant Group, we do not separate lease components from non-lease components for any of our right of use assets.
Our operating lease liabilities are determined by discounting future lease payments using a discount rate that represents our best estimate of the incremental borrowing rate our subsidiaries would have to pay to borrow money to finance the asset over the underlying lease term and for an amount equal to the lease payments. Our discount rate is based on interest rates associated with comparable public company secured debt for companies similar to our operating subsidiaries and of similar duration to the underlying lease. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine our operating lease liabilities was 7.43% and 7.01%, respectively.
Our lease costs are directly attributable to restaurant operations, primarily for real estate and to a lesser extent certain restaurant equipment. Operating lease costs of $30.5 million, $36.4 million and $37.3 million are included in Cost of restaurant revenue on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The increase in our net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2023 from 2022 is primarily attributable to equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, sales of Dayforce shares and impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset sales of Paysafe shares and mark-to-market gains recorded on Dayforce.

The Company’s gross federal and state NOL carryforwards were $258.6 million and $92.3 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The NOLs expire in various tax years through 2043.
ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all of the available evidence using a "more likely than not" standard. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. Management evaluated the Company’s deferred tax assets for recoverability using a consistent approach that considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, in particular, the Company’s historical profitability and any projections of future taxable income or potential future tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $4.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to state NOLs, as it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of certain state NOLs will not be realized before the NOLs expire.
Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded for differences between tax positions the Company takes, or expects to take, on its income tax return compared to the benefit recognized for financial statement purposes. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021.
The Company's federal and state income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 remain subject to examination.
Note M.      Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.
Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under "dram shop" laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.
We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively "legal proceedings") on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts that represents our best estimate is recorded. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our accrual for settlements of legal proceedings was not considered material. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period in the event of an unfavorable outcome, at present, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On September 23, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit styled Oklahoma Firefighters Pension & Retirement System, derivatively on behalf of Cannae Holdings, Inc. v. William P. Foley, II, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, certain Board members and officers of the Company, and the Manager, alleging breach of fiduciary duties relating to the Company’s Management Services Agreement. The plaintiff further alleged the Board breached their fiduciary duties by approving bonuses in connection with the initial public offering of Dayforce and the approval of an Investment Success Incentive Plan in August 2018. Along with the Complaint, the plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to the count seeking to void the Management Services Agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Management Services Agreement and plaintiff withdrew its motion for partial summary judgment as

moot. On February 1, 2021, the court ordered the plaintiff's summary judgment motion withdrawn and dismissed the related count of the plaintiff's complaint. On February 18, 2021, our Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") consisting of two of the Board’s Directors, and authorized the SLC, among other things, to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the lawsuit. The Board also gave the SLC the sole authority and power to consider and determine whether or not prosecution of the claims asserted in the lawsuit is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and what action the Company should take with respect to the lawsuit. On March 9, 2021, the Court entered a stipulated Order staying the action to allow the SLC to investigate, review, and evaluate the facts, circumstances, and claims asserted in or relating to the action and to determine the Company’s response thereto.
On October 25, 2022, the parties, including the SLC acting on behalf of the Company, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the action, subject to various terms and conditions, as well as court approval. On March 10, 2023, the parties formalized their settlement and entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release which was filed with the court. The agreement includes, among other things, a payment of $6 million in cash to the Company (less any fee and expense award), amendments to the Management Services Agreement between the Company and the Manager, and corporate governance changes. On June 8, 2023, the court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement in all respects and dismissing the lawsuit. The net settlement amount has been paid to the Company, the Management Services Agreement was amended on September 30, 2023, and the parties complied with the remaining terms of the settlement. The net settlement is recorded in Recognized losses, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the year ended December 31, 2023. See further discussion of the Amended MSA in Note A - Basis of Financial Statements.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
We have certain unconditional purchase obligations, primarily in our Restaurant Group segment. These purchase obligations are with various vendors and primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regard to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of December 31, 2023 to determine the amount of the obligations.
Purchase obligations as of December 31, 2023 are as follows (in millions):

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents.
We place cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure with any one financial institution.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12 Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance and will be applied using different approaches depending on what the specific amendment relates to and, for public entities, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We have adopted this ASU which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. This ASU could result in a material change to our accounting for taxes in future interim periods if a change in tax laws or rates occurs in a future interim period as this ASU now requires accounting for such changes to occur in the period in which changes to tax laws or rates are enacted.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the year covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.2023.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20212023 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 20212023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
