PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE

Pay Versus Performance Table

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company’s financial performance and the compensation paid to the NEOs for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

In addition, we are also presenting supplemental disclosure further below regarding Company and Peer Group total shareholder return as calculated for the period from August 2, 2021 (the first date following our business combination) through December 31, 2024, which we believe more accurately reflects the Company total shareholder return and Peer Group total shareholder return because it reflects the period following the closing of our business combination when the Company’s management team was responsible for the financial results of the publicly traded entity. See the section below entitled “Supplemental Disclosure – Company TSR and Peer Group TSR”.

1 The name of the Principal Executive Officer of the Company (“PEO”) reflected in these columns for each of the applicable fiscal years is Githesh Ramamurthy.

2 In calculating the ‘compensation actually paid’ amounts reflected in these columns, the fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of the equity award adjustments included in such calculations was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The following Monte Carlo valuation assumptions used to calculate such fair values of our TSR-based PSUs materially differed from those utilized at the time of grant:


	Valuation as of 12/31/21					Valuation as of 12/31/22					Valuation as of 12/31/23					Valuation as of 12/31/24

3 The names of each of the non-PEO NEOs reflected in these columns for each applicable fiscal year are as follows: (i) for fiscal year 2024, Brian Herb, John Goodson, Michael Silva, and Marc Fredman; (ii) for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, Brian Herb, John Goodson, Michael Silva, and Mary Jo Prigge; and (iii) for fiscal year 2021, Brian Herb and Barrett Callaghan.

4 The Company total shareholder return and the Peer Group total shareholder return reflected in these columns for each applicable fiscal year is calculated based on a fixed investment of $100 on December 31, 2020 on the same cumulative basis as is used in Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. For the period December 31, 2020 through July 30, 2021 (the date of our business combination), the total shareholder return calculations relate to Class A ordinary shares of Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp, and for the period following July 30, 2021 through December 31, 2024, the total shareholder return calculations relate to CCC’s common stock. The peer group used to determine the Peer Group total shareholder return for

each applicable fiscal year is the compensation peer group that was disclosed in the section above entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for that applicable fiscal year. While there were no changes to the Company’s compensation peer group between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022, for the purposes of calculating the Peer Group total shareholder return the following companies, which ceased to be publicly traded during the applicable measurement period, were excluded from the calculation of the Peer Group total shareholder return: Anaplan, Inc., Avalara, Inc., CDK Global, Inc., Cloudera, Inc., and RealPage, Inc. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2023 as a result of the application of pre-established objective criteria, as disclosed in the section of our 2023 Proxy Report entitled “2023 Peer Group”. Note that as of September 2023, Black Knight Technologies was acquired and ceased to be publicly traded, resulting in their exclusion from comparisons in this disclosure. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2024 as a result of the application of pre-established objective criteria, as disclosed in the section above entitled “2024 Peer Group”.

5 Represents the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited GAAP financial statements for each applicable fiscal year.

6 The Company has selected total revenue as its most important financial measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link ‘compensation actually paid’ to the NEOs to the Company’s performance for fiscal year 2024. Total revenue represents the amount of revenue reflected in the Company’s audited GAAP financial statements for each applicable fiscal year.

7 For fiscal year 2024, the ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO NEOs reflect each of the following adjustments made to the total compensation amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2024, computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K:

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Compensation Actually Paid and Company TSR

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO NEOs is directionally aligned with the Company’s total shareholder return over the four years presented in the table. This is because a significant portion of the ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and to the non-PEO NEOs is comprised of equity awards, including TSR-based PSUs and, in 2021, options issued in 2017 which vested in connection with the business combination. As described in more detail in the section titled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Target Pay Mix,” approximately 76% of the value of total compensation awarded in fiscal year 2024 to the non-PEO NEOs is comprised of equity awards, including RSUs and PSUs. No equity awards were granted to the PEO in fiscal years 2022, 2023, or 2024, however, in fiscal year 2021 approximately 97% of the PEO’s compensation was in the form of equity awards, as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Compensation Highlights in Fiscal Year 2022” section and the “Fiscal Year 2022 Summary Compensation Table” above.

The change in the fair value of awards granted in fiscal year 2024, from the date of grant to the end of the fiscal year, had the most impact on the change from the compensation reported in the “Fiscal Year 2024 Summary Compensation Table” to ‘compensation actually paid.’

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO NEOs is not directionally aligned with the Company’s GAAP net income over the four years presented in the table due to the weight placed on equity-based compensation in our pay mix, the impact the Company’s stock price has had on the ‘compensation actually paid’ amounts during the applicable fiscal years, and the incremental expense related to the modifications made in fiscal year 2023 to the TSR-based PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022. As described in more detail in the section titled “Compensation Discuss and Analysis – Target Pay Mix,” approximately 8% of the value of total compensation awarded in fiscal year 2024 to the non-PEO NEOs who served as executive officers of the Company for the complete fiscal year was comprised of amounts determined under the Company’s 2024 AIP.

Further, we note that our net loss in fiscal year 2021 was largely due to increased stock-based compensation expense of approximately $262 million related to our business combination. When adjusting for that and other non-operational items, our adjusted net income was approximately $130 million, an increase of 64% over fiscal year 2020. Similarly, our net loss of $90.1 million in 2023 was primarily due to $82.7 million of goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges related to the Company’s China reporting unit. When adjusting for this, our adjusted net income in 2023 is $210.5 million, an increase of 19% over 2022. With these adjustments to net income, we do believe there is better alignment of ‘compensation actually paid’. Reconciliations of our adjusted net income to our net income (loss) for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Reconciliations for our adjusted net income to our net income (loss) for fiscal year 2023 appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

Compensation Actually Paid and Total Revenue

We have experienced positive growth in total revenue, with year-over-year revenue growth of 8.7% in fiscal year 2021 (or 15.0% when adjusted for the impact of the divestiture of a portion of our professional services casualty solution in December 2020), 13.7% in fiscal year 2022, 10.7% in fiscal year 2023, and 9.1% in fiscal year 2024. Alignment of the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the non-PEO NEOs with the Company’s total revenue over the four years presented in the table is mixed. More specifically, there was

misalignment from 2021 to 2022 due to the pay mix in 2022 and the impact the Company’s stock price has had on the ‘compensation actually paid’ amounts during the applicable fiscal years. In 2023, however, primarily due to an increase in stock price in 2023 and the impact of the modifications made to the TSR-based PSUs as previously disclosed, ‘compensation actually paid’ was more closely aligned to revenue results in 2023. The relationship between Total Revenue and the amount of ‘compensation actually paid’ to the PEO and the average amount of ‘compensation actually made’ to the non-PEO NEOs in 2024 was well-aligned. While the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that total revenue is the Company’s most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link ‘compensation actually paid’ to the NEOs to company performance for fiscal year 2024. The Company utilized revenue-based goals for the Company’s annual incentive plans for fiscal years 2021 through2024, as well as for the PSUs that were awarded to the NEOs in those fiscal years. As described in more detail in the section titled “Compensation Discuss and Analysis – Target Pay Mix,” approximately 8% of the value of total compensation awarded in fiscal year 2024 to the non-PEO NEOs who served as executive officers of the Company for the complete fiscal year was comprised of amounts determined under the Company’s 2024 AIP, and approximately 76% of the value of total compensation awarded in fiscal year 2024 to such non-PEO NEOs was comprised of equity awards, specifically RSUs and PSUs.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Company TSR and Peer Group TSR

As demonstrated by the following graph, the Company’s total shareholder return over the three fiscal years presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table was -12%, while the Peer Group total shareholder return was +47% over the same time period. For the period December 31, 2020 through July 30, 2021 (the date of our business combination) the total shareholder return calculations relate to Class A ordinary shares of Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp, and for the period following July 30, 2021 through December 31, 2023, the total shareholder return calculations relate to CCC’s common stock. The Company’s total shareholder return underperformed compared to the Company’s compensation peer group during the years presented in the graph below. These results, and the TSR-based PSUs granted to the NEOs in fiscal

years 2021 and 2022, caused a downward adjustment in the ‘compensation actually paid’ amounts in prior years because they are measured on an absolute, and not a relative, basis. The modification of these awards to utilize relative TSR resulted in an upward adjustment to ‘compensation actually paid’ in 2023.

While there were no changes to the Company’s compensation peer group between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022, for the purposes of calculating the Peer Group total shareholder return the following companies, which ceased to be publicly traded during the applicable measurement period, were excluded from the calculation of the Peer Group total shareholder return for such fiscal years: Anaplan, Inc., Avalara, Inc., CDK Global, Inc., Cloudera, Inc., and RealPage, Inc. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2023 as described in the section of our 2023 Proxy Report entitled “2023 Peer Group”. Note that as of September 2023, Black Knight Technologies was acquired and ceased to be publicly traded, resulting in their exclusion from comparisons in this disclosure. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2024 as described in the section above entitled “2024 Peer Group”.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure

Supplemental Disclosure - CCC TSR and Peer Group TSR

As permitted under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following supplemental disclosure with respect to Company and Peer Group total shareholder return calculated based on a fixed investment of $100 on August 2, 2021, the first date following our business combination, on the same cumulative basis as is used in Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company believes that these total shareholder return calculations more accurately reflect the comparison of Company total shareholder return and Peer Group total shareholder return because they reflect the period following the closing of our business combination when the Company’s management team was responsible for the financial results of the publicly traded entity.


MEASUREMENT PERIOD	SUPPLEMENTAL COMPANY TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN	SUPPLEMENTAL PEER GROUP TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN
August 2, 2021 –December 31, 2024	$117	$118
August 2, 2021 – December 31, 2023	$113	$95
August 2, 2021 – December 31, 2022	$86	$79
August 2, 2021 – December 31, 2021	$113	$96

As demonstrated by the following supplemental graph, the Company’s total shareholder return over the four periods presented in the supplemental table above was +17%, while the Peer Group total shareholder return presented in the supplemental table above was +18% over the same time period. The Company’s total shareholder return outperformed

compared to the Company’s compensation peer group during the periods ending on December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and underperformed the Company’s compensation peer group during the period ending December 31, 2024, as presented in the supplemental table above.

While there were no changes to the Company’s compensation peer group between fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022, for the purposes of calculating the Peer Group total shareholder return for the supplemental table above, the following companies, which ceased to be publicly traded during the applicable measurement period, were excluded from the calculation of the Peer Group total shareholder return for such fiscal years: Anaplan, Inc., Avalara, Inc., CDK Global, Inc., Cloudera, Inc., and RealPage, Inc. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2023 as described in the section of our 2023 Proxy Report entitled “2023 Peer Group”. Note that as of September 2023, Black Knight Technologies was acquired and ceased to be publicly traded, resulting in their exclusion from comparisons in this disclosure. The Company’s compensation peer group was updated in fiscal year 2024 as described in the section above entitled “2024 Peer Group”.
