FOLEY WILLIAM P II Sell
Executive Chairman
2,500,000 shares
$22,725,000
@ $9.09
Significance 6/10

Executive Chairman Foley sells 2,500,000 shares of DNB at $9.09 for $22,725,000, reducing stake by 44.6%.

William P Foley II, Executive Chairman, sold 2,500,000 shares (2.50M shares) at $9.09 on 2025-08-14, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 3,109,644 shares (3.11M shares) from 5,609,644 shares (5.61M shares)—a 44.6% reduction. The sale occurs while DNB trades at $9.10, down 28.6% from its 52-week high of $12.75, and in the context of the company posting negative net income of $-33,700,000.00 for the latest quarter despite $585,200,000.00 in quarterly revenue. Foley's cross-ticker track record shows 5 prior sales with an average 90-day return of -7.0% and a 40.00% well-timed rate; however, his prior three sales at DNB specifically (2025-05-02, 2025-03-25, 2023-05-10) were not well-timed at the 90-day mark—all three resulted in positive returns, meaning the stock rose after he sold. This large single transaction, while reducing concentration risk, does not align with a pattern of well-timed exits at this ticker and occurs during a period of operational losses.

Cannae Holdings, Inc. Sell
1,000,000 shares
$9,060,000
@ $9.06
Significance 5/10

10% owner Cannae Holdings sells 1,000,000 DNB shares at $9.06; maintains 59.05M share position despite unprofitable fundamentals.

Cannae Holdings sold 1,000,000 shares (1.00M shares) of Dun & Bradstreet at $9.06 on 2025-06-17, reducing its stake from 60.05M to 59.05M shares while remaining a substantial 10% owner. The sale occurs at a price -28.9% from the 52-week high of $12.75, with DNB reporting negative net income of $-15.8M on revenue of $579.8M in the latest quarter. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on prior sells, though same-ticker history is mixed: the immediately prior sell on 2025-05-08 returned +0.8% at 30 days, while a 2024-03-18 sale at DNB fell -10.7% over 90 days. The modest 1.7% reduction in DNB holdings and the persistence of a 59.05M share position suggest this is a partial liquidation of a core position rather than a full exit, occurring in a company that has not recovered to profitability and trades well below recent highs.

Chu Chinh Sell
10,952,008 shares
$98,021,184
@ $8.95
Significance 8/10

Director Chu Chinh sells 10,952,008 shares (100% of holdings) for $98,021,183.59 at DNB; company recently unprofitable

Director Chu Chinh executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,952,008 shares for $98,021,183.59, completely liquidating his position in Dun & Bradstreet Holdings. The sales occurred at blended average price $8.95, while current price stands at $8.98 (only 0.3% above sale execution). The complete exit is notable given the company's recent negative fundamentals: latest quarter net income was $-15,800,000.00 (loss), annual revenue growth slowed to +2.9%, and the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. His cross-ticker track record shows 6 prior sells with 90-day well-timed rate 66.67%, but this full liquidation event stands apart from the smaller prior dispositions in both scale and completeness, warranting investor attention to whether further governance or operational developments follow.

Cannae Holdings, Inc. Sell
9,000,000 shares
$80,550,000
@ $8.95
Significance 6/10

Cannae Holdings sells 9,000,000 DNB shares at $8.95, reducing stake to 60,048,691 shares (-13.0%)

Cannae Holdings, a 10% owner of Dun & Bradstreet, executed a material sale of 9,000,000 shares for $80,550,000.00 on 2025-05-08, reducing its holdings by -13.0% to 60,048,691 shares. The sale occurred at $8.95, which is -29.8% below DNB's 52-week high of $12.75, yet the stock is +3.8% over 30 days and -20.3% over 90 days, reflecting recent weakness. Notably, Cannae's prior sale at DNB in March 2024 posted a 90-day return of -10.7%, and the insider's cross-ticker track record shows 100.00% well-timed rate on sells (1 of 1 prior sales resulted in post-sale declines). Against this backdrop of demonstrated selling discipline and DNB's unprofitable fiscal year (net income $-15,800,000.00) alongside slowing growth (+2.9% annual revenue growth), the reduction in a major shareholder's stake warrants investor attention to the underlying reasons driving capital reallocation away from the position.

FOLEY WILLIAM P II Sell
Executive Chairman
2,500,000 shares
$22,400,000
@ $8.96
Significance 6/10

Executive Chairman Foley sells 2,500,000 shares of DNB at $8.96 for $22.4M; stock down -27.2% over 90 days

William P Foley II, Executive Chairman, sold 2,500,000 shares of Dun & Bradstreet Holdings on 2025-05-02 at $8.96, reducing his holdings by 30.8% to 5,609,644 shares. The transaction occurred while DNB stock was trading at -29.7% from its 52-week high and has declined -27.2% over the prior 90 days. At the same-ticker level, Foley's prior two DNB sales (2025-03-25 and 2023-05-10) showed mixed timing outcomes: the March 2025 sale has not yet reached its 90-day measurable window, while the May 2023 sale preceded a subsequent +2.0% gain, suggesting that timing. Company fundamentals remain challenged, with full-year net income negative despite +2.9% annual revenue growth. The magnitude of this reduction and the depressed price context warrant investor attention to whether Foley's liquidity needs or confidence levels have shifted.

FOLEY WILLIAM P II Sell
Executive Chairman
2,500,000 shares
$22,475,000
@ $8.99
Significance 6/10

Executive Chairman William P. Foley II sells 2,500,000 shares of DNB for $22.5M, reducing holdings 23.6%, as stock down 29.9% from 52-week high.

Executive Chairman William P. Foley II sold 2,500,000 shares of Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. at $8.99 on 2025-03-25, reducing his stake from 10,609,644 shares to 8,109,644 shares for a total value of $22,475,000.00. The transaction occurs as DNB trades at $8.94, down 29.9% from its 52-week high of $12.75 and down 27.2% over the past 90 days. At the same-ticker level, Foley's only prior DNB sell occurred on 2023-05-10 and was poorly timed (the stock rose 2.0% over the following 90 days), while his broader cross-ticker track record shows 66.67% well-timed sells with an average 90-day return of -12.5%. The company's latest quarter generated $609.1M in revenue with net income of only $3.2M, and annual revenue growth of 2.9% masks an unprofitable full fiscal year. The scale of this reduction—nearly a quarter of his prior holdings—combined with deteriorating stock performance and muted fundamentals, warrants investor attention to understand the motivation behind the sale.
