Management Agreements

Prior to our IPO, Ceridian was party to management agreements with affiliates of THL and Cannae, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) and THL Managers VI, LLC (“THLM”). FNF assigned its management agreement to Cannae in November 2017. In April 2018, the management agreements terminated upon consummation of our IPO. Upon termination, the management agreements provided that we pay a termination fee equal to the net present value of the management fee for a seven-year period, which was $11.3 million. We recorded a management fee expense in selling, general, and administrative expense of $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, related to these management agreements.

Indebtedness

FNF, a related party due to certain shared board members, and its subsidiaries owned a portion of our Senior Notes, which were redeemed on May 30, 2018. Based on this ownership, $1.3 million in interest payments were made to affiliates of FNF during the year ended December 31, 2018. The affiliates of FNF conducted the debt transactions through third parties in the ordinary course of their business and not directly with us.
