Carronade Capital Master, LP ("Carronade"), together with the other participants in its solicitation, has filed a definitive proxy statement and accompanying **GOLD** universal proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to be used to solicit votes for the election of Carronade's slate of four director nominees at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Cannae Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"). Carronade has filed a supplement to its definitive proxy statement that includes certain additional information on the Annual Meeting.

Item 1: On November 25, 2025, Carronade issued the following press release:

**Leading Proxy Advisory Firm Glass Lewis Recommends Cannae Shareholders Vote "FOR" All Four of Carronade's Director Nominees at Cannae's Annual Meeting** 

*Glass Lewis Cites Cannae's Poor Investor Returns and Governance, Endorses Board-Level Change and Supports Carronade Nominees Mona Aboelnaga, Benjamin Duster, Dennis Prieto and Chérie Schaible*

*Recommends Shareholders Vote "FOR" Carronade's Nominees and "WITHHOLD" on All Four Cannae Nominees on Carronade's GOLD Proxy Card* 

**DARIEN, Conn., November 25, 2025** – Carronade Capital Master, LP (together with its affiliates, "Carronade Capital", "our" or "we"), which beneficially owns approximately 3.2 million shares of Common Stock of Cannae Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNNE) ("Cannae" or the "Company") and is one of the Company's top shareholders, today announced that Glass, Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis"), a leading proxy advisory firm, recommends that Cannae shareholders vote **<u>"FOR"</u>** Carronade nominees, Mona Aboelnaga, Benjamin Duster, Dennis Prieto and Chérie Schaible, and **<u>"WITHHOLD"</u>** on all four of Cannae's nominees, Erika Meinhardt, Barry B. Moullet, James B. Stallings, Jr., and Frank P. Willey, on Carronade's **GOLD** proxy card in connection with Cannae's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on December 12th, 2025.

Carronade is pleased that Glass Lewis supports board-level change at Cannae and believes the election of Carronade's nominees "…would represent a more immediate and direct mandate for increased accountability, enhanced transparency, bolstered strategic coherency and strengthened corporate governance" and recognizes that all four of Carronade's nominees, Mona Aboelnaga, Benjamin Duster, Dennis Prieto and Chérie Schaible, merit shareholder support and possess the necessary experience and expertise to help drive Cannae's turnaround.

In making its recommendation, Glass Lewis noted:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "…Cannae's decidedly dour legacy of value creation, persistent trading discount, questionable capital allocation
and a corporate governance framework marred by misaligned incentives, half-step improvements and a byzantine network of interlinked directors
who have failed to prioritize broader investor interests and remediate long-standing deficiencies."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "The board is, in our view, not particularly successful in deflecting long-standing concern that Bill Foley's preferences and
predilections rule the roost at Cannae, nor do we find much traction in published efforts to refute expansive, long-term associations
and cross-connections to Mr. Foley and/or Foley-related vehicles. Given the less than theoretical implications of this architecture –
including a high-cost, low-value external management agreement purportedly terminated for the same reason it was previously executed,
multiple conflicted SPAC investments, pointedly atypical compensation architecture and, ultimately, substantial declines in shareholder
value and a functionally unaltered trading discount – the import of fresh oversight is clear, in our view."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Cannae's [subpar shareholder returns and trading discount] "…stems from a laundry list of structural concerns which
predominantly orbit Bill Foley, whose sweeping influence and veritable bevy of commingled interests often appear to take a front seat
to the balance of Cannae's unaffiliated investors."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "…we believe there are significant concerns relating to the board's oversight efficacy and execution, resulting in sharp
underperformance against peers, a persistent and wide trading discount and continued skepticism regarding Cannae's governance architecture
and management's ability to appropriately allocate capital in a manner that maximizes value for all Cannae shareholders."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "It is also important to stress that the nearly five-year external management agreement did not yield any appreciable boon for
Cannae investors: despite a lucrative fee stream for Trasimene during the tenure of the arrangement, Cannae lost 21.4% on a dividend adjusted
basis between August 27, 2019 and February 27, 2024 (proxy peers up 68.3%, Russell 3000 up 86.0%). Against that backdrop, the board's
attempt to highlight termination of the MSA with Trasimene as a shareholder-friendly action seems to seek credit for shutting the stable
door after the horse has bolted;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "In mid-March 2025, the board executed a series of compensation actions we consider regressive… These provisions are,
in our view, transparently punitive deterrents to shareholder dissent and constitute questionable enrichment of board members not otherwise
endorsed by investors;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "…there is essentially no appreciable difference between Cannae's NAV discount prior to disclosure of the board's
transformation plan and the Company's NAV discount after adjusting for recent results and go-forward messaging, functionally nullifying
a foundational element of the board's defense."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "In lieu of that outcome, we consider Carronade has presented investors with the opportunity to elect a minority slate of candidates
with relevant expertise, including with respect to investment management and restructuring alternatives. Perhaps more important under
the circumstances, Carronade's nominees appear suitably independent and are under no obligation to pursue a predetermined agenda,
Carronade's or otherwise."

To ensure the election of Carronade's nominees, it is essential that shareholders follow the recommendation of Glass Lewis and vote **<u>"FOR"</u> Mona Aboelnaga, Benjamin Duster, Dennis Prieto and Chérie Schaible** and **<u>"WITHHOLD"</u>** on **Erika Meinhardt, Barry B. Moullet, James B. Stallings, Jr., and Frank P. Willey** on Carronade's **GOLD** proxy card. Shareholders must cast their votes on or before 11:59 pm Pacific Time on December 11, 2025.
