DNB Investor Alert: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP Reminds Investors of the Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP informs investors that a class action was filed on behalf of sellers of Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNB) common stock between May 13, 2025 and August 26, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), including holders who exchanged shares of Dun & Bradstreet common stock in the Merger with Clearlake Capital Group, L.P., and holders of Dum & Bradstreet common stock as of the May 9, 2025 record date for the special meeting of stockholders and whose shares were voted on, or entitled to vote on, the merger with Clearlake. Dun & Bradstreet is a global provider of business decision data and analytics.
The complaint alleges that Dun & Bradstreet's sale was engineered by the Company's Executive Chairman Willaim P. Foley to relieve an acute liquidity crisis at Cannae Holdings, Inc., D&B's largest stockholder, which Foley also chaired—and to defeat an activist proxy contest that threatened Foley's control of Cannae.
Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP before the November 10, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.
Why Was Dun & Bradstreet Sued?
According to the complaint, on or about March 23, 2025, Dun & Bradstreet agreed to be acquired by affiliates of Clearlake for $9.15 per share in cash. According to the complaint, to obtain the stockholder approval required to consummate the merger, Dun & Bradstreet issued a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A on May 13, 2025 (the "Proxy"). Dun & Bradstreet stockholders allegedly voted to approve the merger on June 12, 2025, and the merger closed on August 26, 2025.
Plaintiff alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts in Dun & Bradstreet's March 23, 2025, merger announcement and in the Proxy.
Specifically, defendants failed to disclose: (i) the actual impetus for the sale: the liquidity crisis and activist threat confronting Cannae, and Foley's determination to convert Dun & Bradstreet, Cannae's largest holding, into cash quickly to address these issues; (ii) that several alternatives to a whole-company sale were worth materially more than $9.15 per share; (iii) the false board approval of the March Projections; and (iv) the advisor conflicts in the sales process.
Who May Be Eligible to Participate in the Dun & Bradstreet Class Action?
The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who sold Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. common stock between May 13, 2025 and August 26, 2025.
Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.
What Is a Lead Plaintiff?
