Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. Announces Amendments to Private Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation for Black Knight InfoServ, LLC’s Outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes Due 2028

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE) (“ICE”) announced today amendments to its previously announced private exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) and related consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to the outstanding 3.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “BK Notes”) issued by Black Knight InfoServ, LLC (“BK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ICE.

ICE will not make any further amendments to the terms and conditions of, or the consideration offered in, or any extensions of, the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. If the Requisite Consent (as defined below) is not obtained by the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date (as defined below) and (ii) the termination of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the terms of the BK Notes will remain unchanged and BK will continue to be bound by the reporting covenant and the other covenants in the indenture under which the BK Notes were issued (the “Original BK Indenture”).

The early tender deadline, which was originally scheduled to be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 22, 2023 (the “Original Early Tender Deadline”), has been extended until the expiration date of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 8, 2023, unless earlier terminated by ICE (such date and time, the “Expiration Date”). For Eligible Noteholders (as defined below) of the BK Notes who validly tendered their BK Notes by the Original Early Tender Deadline, the withdrawal deadline has been extended until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 28, 2023, unless earlier terminated (the “Amended Withdrawal Deadline”). For Eligible Noteholders who did not validly tender (or who validly tendered but validly withdrew) their BK Notes prior to the Original Early Tender Deadline, the withdrawal deadline remains unchanged and has passed. As a result, any BK Notes tendered after the Original Early Tender Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Date may not be withdrawn and the related consents delivered in the Consent Solicitation may not be revoked, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

ICE has also amended the cash consideration payable to Eligible Noteholders of the BK Notes who validly tender their BK Notes by the Expiration Date and do not (or are not eligible to) validly withdraw their BK Notes by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline (the “Cash Consideration”), such that the aggregate Cash Consideration will be $2,000,000, to be shared by all such tendering holders. Specifically, the Cash Consideration will be an amount per $1,000 principal amount of BK Notes validly tendered by the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline equal to the product of $2.00 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of BK Notes outstanding as of the Expiration Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of BK Notes validly tendered by the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline. As a result, the Cash Consideration for the BK Notes will range from $2.00 per $1,000 principal amount (if all Eligible Noteholders tender) to approximately $4.00 per $1,000 principal amount (if Eligible Noteholders of a simple majority of the aggregate principal amount of the BK Notes tender).

Accordingly, in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the BK Notes validly tendered by the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline, Eligible Noteholders will be eligible to receive ICE Notes in the principal amount of $1,000 and the Cash Consideration.

The amended exchange consideration is set forth below:

Per $1,000 principal amount of BK Notes validly tendered by the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline and accepted for exchange, the Cash Consideration will be an amount equal to the product of $2.00 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of BK Notes outstanding as of the Expiration Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of BK Notes validly tendered by the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn by the Amended Withdrawal Deadline.

Except for the amendments and extensions described above, all other terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation set forth in the offering memorandum dated November 8, 2023 (the “Offering Memorandum”), copies of which were made available to Eligible Noteholders, remain unchanged. As previously announced, the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being conducted in connection with, and are conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of, such terms and conditions, including the receipt of consents representing at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding BK Notes (the “Requisite Consent”). If the Requisite Consent is not obtained on or prior the Expiration Date, a supplemental indenture will not be entered into to effect the proposed amendments to the Original BK Indenture described in the Offering Memorandum (the “Proposed Amendments”) and all the outstanding BK Notes will continue to be bound by the Original BK Indenture.

The Exchange Offer is being made only to holders of BK Notes who satisfy the eligibility conditions described under “Disclaimer” below. Holders of BK Notes who desire a copy of the eligibility letter should contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information agent and exchange agent for the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, at (866) 356-7813. Banks and brokers should call (212) 269-5550.

Holders of BK Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold BK Notes as to when such intermediary needs to receive instructions from a holder in order for that holder to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum. The deadlines set by each clearing system for the submission and withdrawal of exchange instructions will also be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offering Memorandum.
