March 13 2018 - 4:10PM
Black Knight, Inc. (NYSE:BKI) (the “Company” or “Black Knight”), a
leading provider of software, data and analytics solutions to the
mortgage and consumer loan, real estate and capital market
verticals, today announced that affiliates of Thomas H. Lee
Partners, L.P. (together, the “Selling Shareholder”), intend to
offer for sale 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), of which the Company
intends to repurchase from the underwriter 1,000,000 shares of
common stock. The shares will be offered to the public at a fixed
price, which may be changed at any time without notice.
The Selling Shareholder will receive all of the net proceeds
from this offering. No shares are being sold by the Company.
The Company's per-share purchase price for the repurchased
shares will be the same as the per-share purchase price payable by
the underwriter to the Selling Shareholder. The Company intends to
fund the share repurchase with borrowings under its revolving
credit facility.
Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will act as the underwriter for this
offering.
An automatic shelf registration statement (including a
prospectus) relating to the offering of common stock was filed with
the SEC on November 20, 2017 and became effective upon filing.

registration statement and the documents incorporated by reference
in that registration statement as well as the prospectus supplement
related to this offering. You may obtain these documents for free
