Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On December 12, 2025, Cannae Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") held its 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors (the "Declassification"). On December 15, 2025, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Amended Charter") with the Nevada Secretary of State to effect the Declassification. The Board of Directors previously approved the adoption of Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Amended Bylaws") to reflect the Declassification, subject to shareholder approval of the Declassification.
The Declassification will eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors over a three-year period starting in 2026 and result in the annual election of all directors beginning at our 2028 annual meeting of shareholders. At the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, the Class III directors whose terms expire at such time will be elected to serve a one-year term. At the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders, the Class I directors whose terms expire at such time, as well as the former Class III directors, will be elected to serve a one-year term. At the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders and each annual meeting thereafter, all directors will be elected annually.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Charter and the Amended Bylaws, which are attached as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On October 30, 2025, the record date for the Annual Meeting, there were 49,965,406 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding with each such share entitled to one vote.
