Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following describes the significant accounting policies of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” "Cannae," or the "Company”), which have been followed in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. 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. 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, 2021 include our ownership interests in Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. ("Dun & Bradstreet" or "D&B"), Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc. ("Ceridian"), Alight, Inc. ("Alight"), Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe"), Sightline Payments Holdings, LLC ("Sightline" or "Sightline Payments"), Optimal Blue Holdco, LLC ("Optimal Blue") and AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"); majority equity ownership stakes in O'Charley's Holdings, LLC ("O'Charley's") and 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants"); various other controlled portfolio companies and certain minority equity ownership interests. See Note Q 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” or our “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 one 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 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 ownership interest recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in each period. 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), fair value measurements (Note C), and accounting for income taxes (Note L). Actual results could differ from estimates. Recent Developments Ceridian On May 20, 2021, we completed the sale of 2.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144"). In connection with the sale, we received proceeds of $175.0 million. In September 2021, we completed the sale of 1.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian for proceeds of $100.0 million pursuant to the terms of a covered call agreement.

Dun & Bradstreet On January 8, 2021, D&B completed its acquisition of Bisnode Business Information Group AB (the "Bisnode Acquisition"). In connection with the Bisnode Acquisition, D&B issued an additional 6.2 million shares of its common stock, which resulted in a decrease in our ownership interest in D&B from approximately 18.1% to approximately 17.7% and a non-cash gain of $18.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. On June 28, 2021, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 8.5 million shares of common stock of D&B (the "D&B Share Sale") pursuant to Rule 144. In connection with the D&B Share Sale, we received aggregate proceeds of $186.0 million and recorded a gain of $111.1 million. As a result of the D&B Share Sale, we now own 68.1 million shares of D&B, which represents approximately 15.8% of its outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2021. See Note D for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in D&B. On February 15, 2022, we received 21.8 million shares of D&B as partial consideration for our sale of Optimal Blue. Subsequently, we transferred 1.6 million of the shares received to our Manager as part of our carried interest paid related to the sale. See discussion under the header Optimal Blue below for further information. Following the receipt of these additional shares of D&B and payment of carried interest, we own 88.3 million shares of D&B which represents approximately 20.5% of its outstanding common stock. Alight On January 25, 2021, Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. ("FTAC") entered into a business combination agreement with predecessor of Alight, a leading cloud-based provider of integrated digital human capital and business solutions, as amended and restated April 29, 2021, by and among FTAC, Alight and other parties thereto (the "FTAC Alight Business Combination"). Also on January 25, 2021, Cannae entered into an agreement to purchase 25 million shares of Alight for $250.0 million as part of a private investment in public equity ("PIPE") raised in conjunction with the FTAC Alight Business Combination (the "Alight Subscription Agreement"). During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, Cannae funded the following: (a) $250.0 million pursuant to the Alight Subscription Agreement, (b) $150.0 million pursuant to a previously announced forward purchase agreement with FTAC (the "FTAC FPA") entered into on May 8, 2020 and (c) $52.4 million for the purchase of 5.2 million shares of FTAC on the open market (the "Purchased Shares"). In July 2021, we sold 1.0 million of the Purchased Shares for aggregate proceeds of $10.3 million. On July 2, 2021, FTAC completed the FTAC Alight Business Combination in accordance with the relevant business combination agreement. The combined company operates as Alight and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol ALIT. The FTAC Alight Business Combination was funded with the cash held in trust at FTAC, forward purchase commitments, PIPE commitments and equity of Alight. For Cannae’s total net investment in Alight of $446.6 million, inclusive of our previous $4.5 million investment in the sponsor of FTAC (the "FTAC Sponsor") and net of the Purchased Shares sold, Cannae received 50,390,129 common shares and 5,000,000 warrants of Alight (the "Alight Warrants") and 3,026,666 LLC units of Alight's operating subsidiary with substantially the same terms as Alight's public warrants and indirectly held by the Company through its interest in the FTAC Sponsor. In connection with our participation in the PIPE and deal syndication, Cannae earned $6.1 million of fees which were deducted from the basis of our ownership interest in Alight. On November 29, 2021, Alight announced the redemption of all of its outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Alight’s Class A common stock. In accordance with the warrant agreement, upon delivery of the notice of redemption, the warrants could be exercised either for cash or on a cashless basis in exchange for common shares of Alight. We elected the cashless exercise and in December 2021 we received 1,300,000 shares of Alight's Class A Common Stock directly and 786,933 shares indirectly through our ownership interest in the FTAC Sponsor. As of December 31, 2021, Cannae directly and indirectly through the FTAC Sponsor owns 52.5 million shares of Alight which represented approximately 10.0% of its outstanding common equity. We account for our direct ownership interest in common equity of Alight and ownership in the FTAC Sponsor as equity method investments. See Note D for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in Alight. Paysafe On March 30, 2021, Foley Trasimene Acquisition Corp. II ("FTAC II") completed its previously announced merger with Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe"), a leading integrated payments platform (the "FTAC II Paysafe Merger"), in accordance with the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020. The combined company operates as Paysafe and is traded on the NYSE under the symbol PSFE. The FTAC II Paysafe Merger was funded with the cash held in trust at FTAC II, forward purchase commitments, PIPE commitments and equity of Paysafe. In conjunction with the FTAC II Paysafe Merger, Cannae funded: (a) $350.0 million as part of our subscription to the PIPE (the "Paysafe Subscription Agreement" and collectively with the Alight Subscription Agreement the "Subscription Agreements") and (b) $150.0 million as part of our forward purchase agreement with FTAC II entered into on July 31, 2020 (the "FTAC II FPA"). For Cannae’s total investment in Paysafe of $504.7 million, inclusive of our previous investment in the sponsor of FTAC II ("FTAC II Sponsor"), Cannae received 54,294,395 common shares and 5,000,000 Paysafe warrants and 3,134,067 LLC units of Paysafe's operating subsidiary with substantially the same terms as Paysafe's public warrants (collectively, the "Paysafe Warrants"). In connection with our participation in the PIPE, Paysafe paid Cannae a fee of $5.6 million as described in the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020, which was deducted from the basis of our ownership interest. In September 2021, the sponsor of FTAC II distributed all of its interest in Paysafe to its limited partners. As a result, Cannae now directly holds all of its interest in common equity of Paysafe and Paysafe Warrants. In December of 2021, Cannae purchased 5.7 million shares of Paysafe on the open market for $22.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, Cannae directly owns 59.8 million shares which represented approximately 8.3% of the outstanding common equity of Paysafe. We account for our ownership of the common equity of Paysafe under the equity method of accounting and the Paysafe Warrants as a derivative. See Notes C and D for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in common equity and warrants of Paysafe. Optimal Blue On February 15, 2022, we completed the disposition of our ownership interests in Optimal Blue to Black Knight, Inc. (“Black Knight”) and its subsidiaries (the “Optimal Blue Disposition”), pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of February 15, 2022, by and among Black Knight, Cannae, and Optimal Blue, among others. In conjunction with the Optimal Blue Disposition, Cannae received aggregate consideration of (y) $144.5 million in cash and (z) 21.8 million shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Dun & Bradstreet. Following the consummation of the Optimal Blue Disposition, Cannae no longer has any ownership interest in Optimal Blue. Forward Purchases of Equity of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies On February 25, 2021, we entered into a forward purchase agreement (the "AAI FPA") with Austerlitz Acquisition Corporation I (“AAI”), a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "AAI Initial Business Combination"). AAI is co-sponsored by entities affiliated with the chairman of our Board of Directors ("Board"), William P. Foley II. Additionally, Cannae invested $1.6 million in the sponsor of AAI for a 10% indirect economic interest in the founder shares and warrants held by the sponsor. The AAI FPA was contingent upon the closing of the AAI Initial Business Combination. On May 10, 2021, AAI entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “WIL Business Combination Agreement”) by and among AAI, Wave Merger Sub Limited, an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of AAI (“Merger Sub”), and Wynn Interactive Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda (“WIL”). In connection with the signing of the WIL Business Combination Agreement, we and AAI terminated the AAI FPA, and we entered into a backstop facility agreement (the "WIL Backstop Agreement") whereby we agreed, subject to the other terms and conditions included therein, to subscribe for AAI Class A Ordinary Shares in order to fund redemptions by shareholders of AAI in connection with the WIL Business Combination Agreement, in an amount of up to $690.0 million (the "WIL Backstop Subscription"), in consideration for a placement fee of $3.5 million. On November 11, 2021, we and AAI entered into a mutual termination agreement (the "Mutual Termination Agreement") to terminate the WIL Business Combination Agreement. In conjunction with the Mutual Termination Agreement, AAI received $5.0 million as reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses. As a result of the termination of the WIL Business Combination Agreement, both the Backstop Agreement and the Amended and Restated Sponsor Agreement were automatically terminated. On February 25, 2021, we entered into a forward purchase agreement (the "AAII FPA") with Austerlitz Acquisition Corp. II ("AAII"), a SPAC whose business purpose is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "AAII Initial Business Combination"). AAII is co-sponsored by entities affiliated with William P. Foley II. Under the AAII FPA, we agreed to purchase an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of AAII’s Class A common stock, plus an aggregate of 3,125,000 redeemable warrants to purchase one share of AAII's Class A common stock at $11.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $125.0 million in a private placement to occur concurrently with the closing of the AAII Initial Business Combination. Additionally, Cannae directly invested $29.6 million for a 20% indirect economic interest in the founder shares held by the sponsor and a direct interest in 19,733,333 private placement warrants of AAII (the "AAII Warrants") at the initial public offering. The AAII FPA is contingent upon the closing of the AAII Initial Business Combination. On June 5, 2020, we entered into a forward purchase agreement (the "Trebia FPA") with Trebia Acquisition Corp. ("Trebia"), a SPAC incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the "Trebia Initial Business Combination"). Trebia is co-sponsored by entities affiliated with the chairman and a member of our Board, William P. Foley II and Frank R. Martire, respectively. On June 28, 2021, Trebia entered into a business combination agreement by and among Trebia, S1 Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("S1 Holdco"), System1 SS Protect Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Protected"), and the other parties named therein (the "Trebia S1 Business Combination Agreement"). The Trebia S1 Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, the consummation of certain transactions whereby each of (i) System1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the current operating subsidiary of S1 Holdco, and (ii) Protected.net Group Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom and the current operating subsidiary of Protected, will become subsidiaries of Trebia (the "Trebia S1 Business Combination"). In connection with the signing of the Trebia S1 Business Combination Agreement, we and Trebia terminated the Trebia FPA, and we entered into a backstop facility agreement (the "S1 Backstop Agreement" and together with the WIL Backstop Agreement, the "Backstop Agreements") whereby we agreed, subject to the other terms and conditions included therein, to subscribe for Trebia Class A Common Stock in order to fund redemptions by shareholders of Trebia in connection with the Business Combination, in an amount of up to $200.0 million (the "S1 Backstop Subscription"). In connection with Cannae’s entry into the S1 Backstop Agreement, the sponsors of Trebia have agreed to forfeit up to 1,275,510 Trebia Class B Ordinary Shares (and Trebia has agreed to issue to Cannae a number of shares of Trebia Class A Common Stock equal to such forfeiture) as consideration in the event that the S1 Backstop Subscription is drawn due to redemptions. On January 10, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the S1 Backstop Agreement pursuant to which our commitment to fund redemptions increased from $200.0 million to $250.0 million. Also on January 10, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated sponsor agreement with the sponsors or Trebia pursuant to which Trebia will forfeit up to an additional 1,352,941 Class B Ordinary Shares to Trebia, and Trebia will issue to Cannae an equal number of shares of Trebia Class A Common Stock in connection with, and based upon the extent of, Cannae’s obligation with respect to the increase in our backstop commitment.

As a result, Cannae has an approximate 26% ownership of System1. Refer to Note C and G for further discussion of our accounting for the AAII FPA, the AAII Warrants and the S1 Backstop Agreement. QOMPLX On March 1, 2021, Tailwind Acquisition Corp. ("Tailwind") entered into a business combination agreement to merge with QOMPLX, Inc. ("QOMPLX") (the "Tailwind QOMPLX Merger"). In conjunction with the Tailwind QOMPLX Merger, Cannae entered into an agreement to purchase 4.6 million shares of common stock of the combined company for $37.5 million as part of a subscription to the PIPE. 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. Restaurant Group During the year ended December 31, 2021, we commenced a plan to sell or dispose of the assets of Legendary Baking Holdings I, LLC ("Legendary Baking") and VIBSQ Holdco, LLC ("VIBSQ") and their subsidiaries.

In 2020, we received an aggregate of $198.6 million of distributions from the Senator JV. Of the distributions received in 2020, $25.8 million represented the return of our deposit previously held by the Senator JV and the remainder resulted from the Senator JV's sales of CoreLogic, Inc. Using the cumulative earnings approach, $126.4 million of the distributions resulting from the Senator JV in the year ended December 31, 2020 are considered a return on our investment in the Senator JV and are classified as cash inflows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2020.

On October 14, 2021, Capital One Financial Corporation announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Triple Tree, LLC ("Triple Tree"), the investment banking subsidiary of Triple Tree Holdings, LLC ("TTH"). Cannae owns a 24.6% fully diluted interest in TTH. As a result of the sale, the two businesses comprising TTH became two separate organizations. TripleTree joined the Capital Markets group of Capital One Commercial Bank as a wholly owned subsidiary, operating under the current TripleTree brand. TTCP Management Services, LLC, continues as an independent, Minneapolis-based principal investor focused on healthcare technology and services. The transaction closed in November 2021 and we received $35.2 million of distributions from TTH related to the sale. On January 18, 2022, we received an additional distribution of $14.0 million. Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid instruments, including money market instruments, 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 Equity securities include our investment in Ceridian and are carried at fair value. 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 are determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investments sold and are credited or charged to income on a trade date basis. Unrealized gains or losses on fixed maturity securities, which are classified as available for sale, net of applicable deferred income tax expenses (benefits), are excluded from earnings 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) t |
