The votes cast “FOR” the adoption of the Merger Agreement reflect both (i) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon and (ii) a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon that are not owned, directly or indirectly, by FNF, any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, Black Knight Holdings, Inc., New BKH Corp., Black Knight, Inc., New BKH Merger Sub, Inc., or BKFS Merger Sub, Inc., together the “FNF affiliated shareholders”) or any officers or directors of the FNF affiliated shareholders.
