Fidelity National Financial's Strategic Move: Share Distribution to Boost Shareholder Value

Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF), a prominent player in the title insurance and transaction services sector, has recently made a significant announcement regarding its financial strategy. The company has disclosed plans to distribute approximately 12% of its stake in F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (FG) to its shareholders. This bold move is aimed at unlocking value and enhancing market liquidity for investors.

This special stock distribution, which entails around 16 million shares of FG’s common stock, is set to occur on December 31, 2025. As a crucial part of this announcement, FNF emphasized that shareholders will receive this distribution based on their holdings recorded as of 4:30 PM ET on December 17, 2025. This means that for every 100 shares of FNF common stock held, shareholders can expect to receive approximately six shares of FG's common stock. However, any fractional shares will not be distributed; instead, cash equivalents will be provided.

FNF’s Board of Directors has expressed strong confidence in FG’s future prospects, indicating that this initiative is also designed to deepen shareholder value and broaden access to FG's shares. By aligning their interests in this manner, FNF is reinforcing its commitment to investor engagement and financial responsibility.

This strategic decision highlights FNF's proactive approach in navigating the financial landscape while positioning itself as a thorough and supportive entity within the title insurance industry. With a market capitalization that spans billions and a robust operational framework through its subsidiaries, FNF is the largest title insurance company in the nation. Its subsidiaries include well-known names such as Chicago Title and Commonwealth Land Title, collectively issuing more title insurance policies than any other company in the United States.

The distribution process is designed to be seamless for shareholders, ensuring that no additional action is required from them to receive their shares of FG’s stock. Account statements reflecting the ownership interest will be provided, and shareholders holding shares through brokers will automatically see the shares credited to their accounts.

Below are notable details regarding this upcoming distribution:

• - Distribution Date: December 31, 2025
• - Record Date: December 17, 2025
• - Expected Distribution Ratio: Approximately six shares of FG common stock for every 100 shares of FNF common stock

FNF intends for this distribution to be treated as a taxable dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes, emphasizing the importance of consulting with financial advisors regarding specific impacts.

In preparation for this transition, FNF encourages investors to review important information about both companies available via their respective investor relations websites. The execution of this distribution could signify a notable shift in market dynamics for FG and reinforce FNF’s pivotal role in the real estate and mortgage service sectors.

As the financial market continues to evolve, FNF’s assertive approach is a testament to its long-standing dedication to not only maintaining market leadership but also nurturing a robust environment for shareholder growth and success in the years to come.
