CCC All-Employee Letter
I am reaching out to share some exciting news about the future of CCC. This morning, we announced that CCC has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium led by GTCR, and including Elliott Investment Management. This transaction is a recognition of the strength of our technology, the trust our customers and partners place in us and, above all, the vision, dedication and ingenuity of our team. You can read the press release we issued here.
For more than 40 years, CCC has advanced the insurance economy, helping our customers move with the pace of change. When we returned to the public markets in 2021, we did so with a clear conviction that CCC could continue to drive our offering – and our industry – forward, with deliberate investments in technology, AI and our connected network. Today, CCC is a scaled provider of intelligent solutions that combines AI, insights, ecosystem connectivity and deeply integrated workflows to help our customers navigate complexity and achieve better outcomes. That progress is reflected not only in our technology leadership, but also in the strong adoption of our solutions across the markets we serve. We have made significant progress on major renewals and expansions across the insurance, automotive and OEM markets, creating a strong foundation for continued investment and growth.
We believe GTCR and Elliott are great partners for CCC’s next chapter and will help us build on the momentum we have created together. Like us, they believe that significant investment in our people, products and services is vital to scaling our brand and driving growth. They also recognize that our people are key to CCC’s success.
GTCR and Elliott both bring extensive experience supporting and growing leading businesses. GTCR has a long history of partnering with technology-enabled companies to help accelerate growth, strengthen capabilities and support innovation, while Elliott brings broad experience working with businesses that leverage data, software and analytics to deliver value to their customers and drive long-term success. Together, they bring valuable insight, resources and a long-term perspective, along with a shared commitment to supporting our continued growth. With GTCR’s and Elliott’s support, we will accelerate the AI and agentic capabilities our customers want from us, expand the network at the center of our platform and continue to develop and build our world class team. Simply put, we will be well positioned to build on CCC’s momentum and continue creating intelligent solutions that keep people’s lives moving forward when it matters most.
While this is an important day for CCC, this announcement is just the first step in the process, and nothing is changing today. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of CCC stockholders. Until then, CCC will continue to operate as an independent company, and it remains business as usual for all of us at CCC.
Our focus remains unchanged: delivering the technology, service and innovation our customers rely on while advancing our vision and growth strategy. I ask that you remain focused on your day-to-day responsibilities and continue bringing the commitment to excellence that has helped build CCC into the company it is today.
We will hold an employee town hall today at 10:00 AM CT to discuss the announcement in more detail, and I have attached an FAQ to help address some of the questions you may have. Please keep in mind that there are still many details to work through between now and closing, and we will continue to provide updates as we move through this process.
Our proven track record, together with the talent and commitment of this team, gives me tremendous confidence in the opportunities ahead. On behalf of our Board of Directors and management team, thank you for all you have done to build CCC and for all you will continue to do in this next chapter.

| • | If you hold CCC equity awards (i.e., stock options, RSUs, or PSUs), they will be treated as follows in connection with the transaction: |
| a. | Stock Options: At closing, each stock option (vested or unvested) will be cancelled. If the stock option’s exercise price is below $7.75, you will receive a cash payment, less applicable tax withholding, equal to (i) $7.75 minus the exercise price, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares subject to the option. Options with an exercise price of $7.75 or more will be automatically cancelled without payment. |
| b. | RSUs and PSUs: At closing, each unvested RSUs and PSUs will be converted into a restricted cash award equal to (i) $7.75 multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares subject to those RSUs and PSUs. For PSUs, the number of shares will be based on the greater of target and actual performance. Each portion of the restricted cash award will vest on the same schedule and terms that applied to the RSUs or PSUs it replaces. Each vested portion will be paid, less applicable tax withholding, no later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date after it vests. |
| 15. | Can I continue to buy or sell CCC stock? |
| • | Until the transaction closes, our stock will continue to trade on the public market, and you can continue to make investment and trading decisions within our existing policies and regulations. |

Employees who are not already participating may not enroll. The current offering period will end no later than 10 calendar days before closing. No new offering periods will begin, and the ESPP will terminate immediately before closing. Any shares of CCC common stock you hold at closing, including shares purchased through the ESPP, will be converted into the right to receive $7.75 in cash per share. |
| • | As always, you may not trade company stock if you are in possession of material non-public information or during scheduled trading blackout periods. |
| • | If you have any questions about your trading ability, please contact your manager. |
| 16. | What is the timeline for completing this process? What do I need to do between now and close of the transaction? |
| • | We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of CCC stockholders. |
| • | Until then, CCC remains an independent, public company and it is business as usual for all of us. We are counting on you to remain focused on your day-to-day responsibilities and serving our customers with excellence as you always have. |
| 17. | Who do I contact with questions? Where can I go for more information? |
| • | We’ll keep you informed of important developments. |
| • | If you have questions, please reach out to your manager. |
| 18. | What should I do if the media or other third parties contact me? |

CCC Business Partner Letter
Dear Valued Partner,
I’m reaching out to share some exciting news about the future of CCC. This morning, we announced that CCC has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium of private investment firms led by GTCR, and including Elliott Investment Management. You can read the press release here.
Throughout CCC’s history, our goal has been to help insurers and repairers navigate complexity and deliver better outcomes as the connective layer for the insurance economy. To do so, we have worked alongside key partners, like you, to help connect people, data and workflows at the moments that matter most. This transaction will enable CCC to build on our strong foundation, and we look forward to continuing to work with you in this next chapter.
GTCR and Elliott each bring significant experience supporting and investing in technology-enabled companies, as well as valuable insight into the industries and customers we serve. Their experience helping businesses grow, innovate and create value for customers, and in turn partners, makes them well positioned to support CCC’s next chapter.
Following closing of the transaction, CCC will become a private company, and we will deliver even greater value for our customers as we continue creating intelligent solutions that help keep people’s lives moving forward when it matters most.
Note that nothing is changing today. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of CCC stockholders. Until then, CCC will continue to operate business as usual as an independent company. Beyond closing, CCC remains deeply committed to helping advance the industry through technology, AI, insights and deeper ecosystem connections.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your usual CCC contact.
On behalf of the CCC team, thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
[Name, Title]

Business Update Town Hall Transcript
Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us.
I wanted to bring this group together to discuss the exciting news we announced this morning.
Let me start by walking you through some prepared remarks, and then we’ll open it up for questions.
Before I get into the details, I want to say thank you.
We would not be here without literally the tremendous amount of work all of you have done in terms of the company. And if you think about it, for more than 40 years, CCC has advanced the insurance economy, helping our customers move with speed through deliberate investments in technology and AI and the connected network. So today, as a scale provider of AI-based solutions, and that success has been due to both the work of this team and the trust our customers have. We see that in the conversations we have with our customers every day.
And as I mentioned in my e-mail to all of you this morning, the strong foundation we built together, paired with the opportunities we see ahead, is what brought us to this announcement. Now let me take a few minutes and walk you through what we have announced and what it means for the company.
So first, what did we announce? We have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium led by GTCR, including Elliott, for approximately $6.1 billion. Upon closing of the transaction, CCC will become a privately held company. Our board and management team believe this is the best path forward for our company. We considered the evolving industry landscape, and the board evaluated a number of options to determine how we can position CCC to thrive over the next 40 years and it became clear this transaction maximizes value for our shareholders and provides compelling opportunities for our company. And GTCR and Elliott are a big reason why.
And by way of background, GTCR and Elliott are leading investment firms with extensive experience supporting and growing businesses in the technology sector. GTCR has a long history of partnering with technology-enabled companies to help accelerate growth, strengthen capabilities, and support innovation. They were previously investors in CCC when the company was founded. Elliott brings broad experience in working with businesses that leverage data, software, and analytics to deliver value to their customers and drive long-term success. Together, they bring valuable perspective, resources, and experience. They’ll help support our continued growth, and they approach their partnerships with a focus on collaboration band an emphasis on building even stronger companies.
We will accelerate AI and agentic capabilities our customers want from us, expand the network at the center of our platform, and continue to develop and build our work-class team. Together, we will be well positioned to continue building on our momentum, creating intelligent solutions that keep people’s lives moving forward when it matters most. Most important for you, GDCR and Elliott recognize that our people are central to our success.
Well, this transaction will change ownership structure. It does not change who we are, what we do, or the customers we serve. Our shared values will remain core to the work we do every day. Until the transaction closes, CCC remains A publicly traded company, and we will continue to operate as an independent company. This means that roles, reporting relationships, and responsibilities will continue as usual. Our focus remains the same, delivering the technology, service and innovation our customers rely on while advancing our vision and growth strategy.
And, as you can tell...We are excited about the next chapter of CCC. But it’s important to keep in mind that this is just the beginning of a process that’ll take time to complete, and nothing is changing today.
We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of CCC stockholders. Between now and closing, the most important thing each of us can do is to stay focused on your work, and continue bringing the commitment to excellence that has made CCC successful.
In closing, as we move through this process, we’ll continue sharing updates and communicating openly as important milestones are reached. Once again, thank you for your support, focus, and commitment to CCC. Our track record, combined with the talent and dedication of this team, gives me tremendous confidence in what CCC can accomplish in the years ahead.
