Fidelity National Financial Announces Record Date, Distribution Ratio, and Distribution Date for Distribution of Approximately 15% of the Shares of F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. to FNF Shareholders (11/10/22)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ โ Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) ("FNF" or the "Company"), a leading provider of title insurance and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries and a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients through FNF's wholly-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. ("F&G"), today announced that its Board of Directors has set the record date, the distribution ratio and the expected distribution date for the pro rata distribution of approximately 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock of F&G to FNF shareholders. Following the distribution, FNF will retain control of F&G through an approximately 85% equity ownership stake.
The record date for determining the FNF shareholders entitled to receive shares of F&G common stock in the distribution will be the close of business on November 22, 2022.
FNF shareholders will receive 68 shares of F&G common stock for every 1,000 shares of FNF common stock held as of the close of business on the record date. The distribution will be made in book-entry form. FNF expects the distribution to occur on December 1, 2022. FNF shareholders will not be required to take any action in order to receive the F&G distribution, meaning that FNF shareholders will not have to surrender or exchange any shares of FNF common stock in order to receive F&G common stock.
The distribution of shares of F&G common stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) will be treated as a taxable distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any holder of record who sells their shares of FNF common stock on or before the distribution date of December 1, 2022 will be selling their entitlement to shares of F&G common stock to the buyer of their shares of FNF common stock. Holders are encouraged to consult with their financial and tax advisors regarding consequences of buying, selling or holding any securities, including those described in this news release.
Currently, there is no trading market for shares of F&G common stock. F&G is seeking to list its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "FG" subject to its being in compliance with all applicable listing standards on the date it begins trading on the NYSE. F&G intends to satisfy all the requirements for that listing. The Company expects that F&G common stock will commence trading on a "when-issued" basis on the NYSE under the symbol "FG WI" one business day prior to the record date. "Regular-way" trading of F&G common stock on the NYSE is expected to begin on December 1, 2022 under the symbol "FG". Following the separation and distribution, FNF will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol "FNF."
Completion of the distribution of F&G shares to FNF shareholders is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including that a registration statement on Form 10 filed by F&G with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is declared effective. F&G Annuities & Life, Inc.'s registration statement on Form 10, including amendments thereto, can be found at www.sec.gov.

Fidelity National Financial Jumps After Profit Beats Analystsโ Estimates
...Fidelity National Financial Inc. (FNF), the largest U.S. title insurer, climbed the most in a year after profit beat analystsโ estimates on a rebound in sales to commercial real estate clients.
By Dan Kraut - Jul 26, 2011 4:04 PM ET .
The insurer jumped 90 cents, or 5.7 percent, to $16.66 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Fidelity National has advanced 22 percent this year, the biggest gain in the 24-compamy KBW Insurance Index.
Second-quarter earnings per share of 36 cents beat by 5 cents the average estimate of four analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Net income was $80 million, compared with $139.6 million a year earlier when the insurer recorded an after-tax gain of $63 million tied to the sale of a claims-management unit, the Jacksonville, Florida-based company said late yesterday in a statement.
โThe strength of our commercial businessโ aided results amid a slump in the residential market, Chairman William P. Foley said in the statement.
Title insurers use their records and public documents to verify a seller is the propertyโs true owner and that the real estate is free from liens. Revenue from the commercial segment climbed 38 percent to $93.8 million from $68.1 million a year earlier.
