CoStar Group Makes Superior Proposal to Acquire CoreLogic for $95.76 Per Share

Conclusion

We sincerely hope that you will act without further delay to secure this compelling opportunity for your stockholders. Under the current terms of the Pending Transaction, our Proposal constitutes a “Competing Proposal” that is being sent without any solicitation or encouragement from CoreLogic or its representatives, which would allow you to negotiate and discuss this Proposal with CoStar, subject to the terms of such Pending Transaction.

We are confident that after consultation with your outside legal counsel and financial advisors and considering all legal, regulatory and financing aspects of this Proposal that you deem appropriate, that this Proposal is more favorable, from a financial point of view, to CoreLogic’s stockholders than the transactions contemplated by the Pending Transaction. There can be no question that our Proposal constitutes a “Superior Proposal” under the terms of the Pending Transaction.

On behalf of CoStar we wish to engage with CoreLogic and its advisors immediately in order to capture for our respective stockholders, customers and people the tremendous superior value inherent in the Proposal.

Sincerely,

Andrew C. Florance
Chief Executive Officer
CoStar Group, Inc.
