Other Events.

As previously disclosed, concurrently with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated February 4, 2021, by and among CoreLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Celestial-Saturn Parent Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Celestial-Saturn Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), providing for the acquisition of the Company by affiliates of Stone Point Capital Partners and Insight Partners, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Merger”), Parent obtained equity and debt financing commitments for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Investment funds managed by Stone Point Capital Partners and Insight Partners (the “Investor Group”) committed to capitalize Parent at the closing of the Merger with an aggregate equity contribution of $2.5 billion, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the equity commitment letters (the “Existing Equity Commitment Letters”). In addition, the Investor Group guaranteed payment of the termination fee payable by Parent under certain circumstances, as well as certain enforcement costs and reimbursement obligations that may be owed by Parent pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and limited guarantees provided by the Investor Group to the Company (the “Limited Guarantees”). JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. also agreed to provide Parent with debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5.5 billion on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a debt commitment letter (the “Existing Debt Commitment Letter”).

On April 2, 2021, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub entered into a letter agreement, which contemplates, among other things, that (i) Parent will enter into an additional equity commitment letter, pursuant to which T-VIII Celestial Co-Invest LP (the “New Sponsor”) would commit to invest in Parent, subject to the terms and conditions therein, $750 million (the “New Equity Commitment Letter”) and a new debt commitment letter, pursuant to which the debt financing sources party thereto would commit to lend an aggregate amount of debt financing of $5.25 billion, of which $4.825 billion could be used to fund the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “New Debt Commitment Letter”), which together will replace the Existing Debt Commitment Letter (the “New Financing”), (ii) Parent and Acquisition Sub will waive the requirement in the proviso set forth in Section 2.2 of the Merger Agreement that if the Marketing Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has not ended as of the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Merger will occur on the earlier of (A) a date during the Marketing Period specified by Parent in writing on no fewer than two business days’ notice to the Company and (B) the third business day immediately following the last day of the Marketing Period and (iii) the closing of the Merger will not occur prior to May 3, 2021, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub in writing.

Certain modifications were also made to the Existing Equity Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantees to account for the New Financing.
