PRESS RELEASE

HIGHFIELDS CAPITAL COMMENTS ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CHANGES AT CORELOGIC

Company Adds Three Independent, Experienced Directors and Take Other Steps to Enhance the Company’s Governance

Boston, Massachusetts, June 12, 2012 – Highfields Capital Management LP, the largest independent shareholder of CoreLogic, Inc. (NYSE: CLGX) (“the Company”), today commented on steps taken by CoreLogic that it believes will meaningfully improve the Company’s corporate governance and enhance CoreLogic’s ability to capitalize on its unique assets. The changes, described in an Agreement with Highfields Capital and filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission, include the addition of three new independent directors, changes in the Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee, and a transition of the Company’s Board leadership.

Jonathon S. Jacobson, Highfields’ Founder, CEO and Chief Investment Officer, said, “We applaud the CoreLogic Board for conducting a comprehensive search and accepting shareholder input to find candidates with relevant business experience. Furthermore, we are pleased that the Board has taken steps to ensure that a truly independent majority will be able to hold management accountable for performance and work with management to drive transformative change for the benefit of all shareholders.”

As further described in the Company’s Form 8-K, changes to the Board will include:

Mr. Jacobson continued: “These changes meet our objective of a CoreLogic Board with substantially greater independence, professional skill and experience to oversee management and best capitalize on the strength of the Company’s world-class assets. In addition to bringing their operational expertise to the Board, each of the new directors has a demonstrated track record of maximizing the value of the businesses to which they have been associated, through both organic growth and strategic transactions. The fact that they are eager to serve at CoreLogic is a ringing endorsement of the Company’s potential.”

As part of its Agreement with CoreLogic, Highfields Capital has agreed to withdraw its nominees to the Company’s Board and vote in favor of all the Company’s nominees at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

Further information, including additional detail about the Agreement entered into by the Company and Highfields, is available in the Form 8-K filed by the Company today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     WHEREAS, the Stockholders provided recommendations and other input to the Company regarding potential directors, and to preserve its rights, on May 1, 2012, notified the Company of their intention to nominate three candidates for election to the Board; and

     WHEREAS, the Company has informed the Stockholders that it has completed its search for director candidates and has determined, in connection with the Company's 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2012 Annual Meeting"), (i) to expand the Board from seven to ten members and (ii) to nominate the following three individuals in the Company's slate of directors for election at the 2012 Annual Meeting: Jaynie Miller Studenmund, John C.

  3.

The Form 8-K also will state that the Company (a) has appointed Thomas C. O'Brien as the Chairman of the Nominating Committee and (b) effective as of and subject to their election to the Board at the 2012 Annual Meeting, will appoint one of Ms. Studenmund and Messrs. Dorman and Curling as a member of the Nominating Committee.

     
  4.

By execution of this Agreement, the Stockholders hereby withdraw their nomination of any and all individuals for election to the Board at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

     
  5.

Promptly after execution of this Agreement, the Stockholders will amend their filing on Schedule 13D to a filing on Schedule 13G with respect to all shares of common stock of the Company that are beneficially owned by the Stockholders and their affiliates.

     
  6.

For so long as the restrictions contemplated by Section 7 of this Agreement are in effect, the Stockholders, their affiliates and the Company will publicly support and recommend that the Company's stockholders vote for the election of each member of the Company's slate of directors at the 2012 Annual Meeting.

  16.

This Agreement, which includes the exhibits and schedules hereto, constitutes the only agreement between the Stockholders and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No party hereto may assign or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Any purported transfer without such consent will be void. No amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party or parties hereto affected thereby, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated therein. Any waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party hereto to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

     
  17.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable. The parties hereto further agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the purposes of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

     
  18.

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not enforceable by any other Persons.

     
  19.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement, and that it has executed this Agreement with the advice of such counsel. Each party hereto and its counsel cooperated and participated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged among the parties will be deemed the work product of all of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its drafting or preparation.

Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party hereto that drafted or prepared it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived by each of the parties, and any controversy over interpretations of this Agreement will be decided without regard to events of drafting or preparation.
