<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On February&nbsp;20, 2018, Cogint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), and BlueFocus
International Limited, a private company limited by shares registered in Hong Kong (&#147;BlueFocus&#148;),
agreed to terminate that certain Business Combination Agreement (the &#147;Business Combination
Agreement&#148;), dated as of September&nbsp;6, 2017, by and between the Company and BlueFocus, filed as
Exhibit&nbsp;2.1 to the Company&#146;s Form 8-K dated September&nbsp;6, 2017 (the &#147;Form 8-K&#148;) and incorporated by
reference into this Item&nbsp;1.02 pursuant to which, among other things, Cogint and BlueFocus would
combine their businesses. As a condition to closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination Agreement, BlueFocus and the Company sought regulatory approval by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (&#147;CFIUS&#148;). CFIUS has indicated its
unwillingness to approve the transaction, therefore, the parties have withdrawn their application
with CFIUS and have terminated the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. A
copy of the Company&#146;s press release, dated February&nbsp;21, 2018, announcing the termination of the
Business Combination Agreement is attached as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.&nbsp;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Simultaneously with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement on September&nbsp;6, 2017, the
Company entered into (1)&nbsp;a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the &#147;Separation Agreement&#148;) with
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Violet, Inc. (&#147;Red Violet&#148;), filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.3 to the Form 8-K
and incorporated by reference into this Item&nbsp;1.02, (2)&nbsp;a Tax Matters Agreement (the &#147;Tax Matters
Agreement&#148;) Red Violet filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.4 to the Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into
this Item&nbsp;1.02 and (3)&nbsp;an Employee Matters Agreement (the &#147;Employee Matters Agreement&#148; and,
together with the Separation Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement, the &#147;Spin-off Documents&#148;)
with Red Violet, filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.5 to the Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item
1.02 pursuant to which the Company intended to spin-off its data and analytics operations and
assets into Red Violet, as an independent public company listed on NASDAQ, immediately before the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the &#147;Spin-off&#148;).
Upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Spin-off Documents
terminated automatically in accordance with their respective terms.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Notwithstanding the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary agreements, the
Company is working towards the consummation of the Spin-off and will enter into new agreements with
Red Violet to effect the Spin-off. The Company expects to announce a record date for the Spin-off
in the next few weeks, subject to the SEC&#146;s clearance of the Red Violet Registration Statement on
Form&nbsp;10 and to meeting all other conditions to the Spin-off.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 20, 2018, Cogint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and BlueFocus
International Limited, a private company limited by shares registered in Hong Kong ("BlueFocus"),
agreed to terminate that certain Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination
Agreement"), dated as of September 6, 2017, by and between the Company and BlueFocus, filed as
Exhibit 2.1 to the Company's Form 8-K dated September 6, 2017 (the "Form 8-K") and incorporated by
reference into this Item 1.02 pursuant to which, among other things, Cogint and BlueFocus would
combine their businesses. As a condition to closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Business Combination Agreement, BlueFocus and the Company sought regulatory approval by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS"). CFIUS has indicated its
unwillingness to approve the transaction, therefore, the parties have withdrawn their application
with CFIUS and have terminated the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms. A
copy of the Company's press release, dated February 21, 2018, announcing the termination of the
Business Combination Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
Simultaneously with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement on September 6, 2017, the
Company entered into (1) a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Red Violet, Inc. ("Red Violet"), filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Form 8-K
and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.02, (2) a Tax Matters Agreement (the "Tax Matters
Agreement") Red Violet filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into
this Item 1.02 and (3) an Employee Matters Agreement (the "Employee Matters Agreement" and,
together with the Separation Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement, the "Spin-off Documents")
with Red Violet, filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item
1.02 pursuant to which the Company intended to spin-off its data and analytics operations and
assets into Red Violet, as an independent public company listed on NASDAQ, immediately before the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Spin-off").
Upon the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, each of the Spin-off Documents
terminated automatically in accordance with their respective terms.
Notwithstanding the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary agreements, the
Company is working towards the consummation of the Spin-off and will enter into new agreements with
Red Violet to effect the Spin-off. The Company expects to announce a record date for the Spin-off
in the next few weeks, subject to the SEC's clearance of the Red Violet Registration Statement on
Form 10 and to meeting all other conditions to the Spin-off.
