Cannae said it expects to repurchase at least $300 million of its common stock, including a buyback through a tender offer shortly after the closing of the deal, which represents $632 million in expected cash proceeds to the company.

Cannae said it plans to retain $60 million of the proceeds to cover future quarterly dividends to shareholders, while also repaying the entire $101 million outstanding under its existing margin loan.

On Monday, private equity firm Clearlake Capital Group said it has agreed to acquire data provider Dun & Bradstreet ( DNB ) in a deal valued at $7.7 billion. The deal is slated to be completed in Q3, Cannae said.
