SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD APRIL 28, 2021

April 5, 2021

These definitive additional materials amend and supplement the definitive proxy statement dated March 30, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), initially mailed to stockholders on or about March 30, 2021, by CoreLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CoreLogic”), for the special meeting of stockholders of CoreLogic to be held in virtual format only at www.cesonlineservices.com/clgx21_vm on April 28, 2021, at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time (the “Special Meeting”). CoreLogic stockholders must register in advance to participate in the Special Meeting remotely. Requests for registration to participate in the Special Meeting remotely must be received no later than 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on April 27, 2021. Stockholders may make such requests to register by following the instructions in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Once admitted to the Special Meeting, stockholders may vote their shares and view a list of stockholders by following the instructions available on the meeting website.

As previously disclosed, on February 4, 2021, CoreLogic entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Celestial-Saturn Parent Inc. (“Parent”), Celestial-Saturn Merger Sub Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), and CoreLogic. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into CoreLogic (the “Merger”), with CoreLogic surviving the Merger, and CoreLogic will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. CoreLogic stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and (ii) a non-binding, advisory proposal to approve compensation that will or may become payable by CoreLogic to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger.

CoreLogic’s board of directors unanimously recommends that CoreLogic’s stockholders vote (i) “FOR” the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, thereby approving the Merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) “FOR” the proposal to approve, by non-binding, advisory vote, compensation that will or may be payable by CoreLogic to its named executive officers in connection with the Merger and contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

If any stockholders have not already submitted a proxy for use at the Special Meeting, they are urged to do so promptly. No action in connection with this supplement is required by any stockholder who has previously delivered a proxy and who does not wish to revoke or change that proxy.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT

The supplemental disclosures set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information contained herein supersedes the information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement.

As previously disclosed, concurrently with the Merger Agreement, 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 CoreLogic (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, CoreLogic, 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 CoreLogic 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 CoreLogic, 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.

While the list of factors presented here and in the definitive proxy statement are considered representative, no such list should be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on CoreLogic’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, credit rating or liquidity.
