ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on September 8, 2011 (the “Original Filing”) as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, filed on October 20, 2011, relating to the shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, (the “Shares”), of CoreLogic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), the principal executive offices of which are located at 4 First American Way, Santa Ana, California 92707. Information reported in the Original Filing remains in effect except to the extent that it has been amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment or a prior amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Original Filing.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On August 29, 2011, the Issuer issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has formed a committee of independent directors to explore options aimed at enhancing shareholder value, including cost savings initiatives, an evaluation of the Issuer’s capital structure, repurchases of debt and common stock, the disposition of business lines, the sale or business combination of the Issuer and other alternatives. The Board also announced that it retained Greenhill & Co. to serve as a financial advisor to assist the committee in its evaluation.

The Reporting Persons have evaluated their rights, and reserve those rights, as the Issuer’s largest shareholder and as a party to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and related agreements pertaining to the Separation. The Reporting Persons have notified the Issuer of their intention to enforce those rights. In addition, the Reporting Persons have discussed, and intend to continue to discuss the options specified in the press release with the Issuer’s financial advisor and management, the committee of independent directors and other directors. In particular, the Reporting Persons have notified the Issuer of their concern that the timing of the strategic review process, which coincides with difficult conditions in the economy and, in particular, the real estate market, as well as generally depressed equity market valuations, could result in a sale of the entire company at a price that would not be beneficial to the Issuer’s long-term shareholders. The Reporting Persons have therefore recommended that the Issuer consider alternatives, such as the sale of certain non-core businesses, which the Reporting Persons offered to purchase, that would allow the Issuer to focus on and invest in its core business. Though the Reporting Persons also offered to purchase the entire company in the event the Issuer desires, notwithstanding, to pursue a sale of the entire company, the Reporting Persons have since withdrawn from the process with respect to such a transaction.

The Reporting Persons intend to regularly review their investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, their evaluation of the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market price for the Issuer’s securities, other opportunities available to them and general market, industry and other economic conditions), the Reporting Persons may, and reserve the right to, engage in discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer and other holders of the Shares, concerning the business and future plans of the Issuer generally, and with regard to strategies and potential

transactions to maximize shareholder value, change their intentions, and acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or sell some or all of their Shares, on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons may formulate other plans or proposals for, and may from time to time explore, or make other proposals relating to, transactions or actions which relate to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Any future actions by the Reporting Persons will depend upon the Issuer’s decisions in pursuing options to enhance shareholder value.
