Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions, or strategies regarding the future.

In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following:

adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding, increased mortgage defaults, or a weak U.S. economy;
•
the severity of our title insurance claims;
•
downgrade of our credit rating by rating agencies;
•
compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations or in their application by regulators;

potential impact of the F&G Distribution (as defined in our public filings) on relationships, including employees, suppliers, customers and competitors;

regulatory investigations of the title insurance industry;
•
loss of key personnel that could negatively affect our financial results and impair our operating abilities;
•
our business concentration in the States of California and Texas are the source of approximately 12.0% and 15.0%, respectively, of our title insurance premiums;
•
our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, as well as the risks associated with acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties integrating acquisitions;
•
our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as our main source of cash flow;
•
competition from other title insurance companies;
•
changes in general economic, business, and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets related to COVID-19 conditions;
•
impacts to our business operations caused by the occurrence of a catastrophe or global crisis, including the spread of COVID-19 variants; and

other risks detailed elsewhere in this document and in our other filings with the SEC.
Except as required by law, we are not under any obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully consider the possibility that actual results may differ materially from our forward-looking statements in or incorporated into this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
As used in this prospectus, debt securities means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, senior debt securities will be issued under the Indenture, dated as of December 8, 2005 (the “Base Indenture”), between Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (formerly Fidelity National Title Group, Inc.) and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (now known as The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.), as amended by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of January 6, 2006 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and a second supplemental indenture (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of May 5, 2010 (such Base Indenture, as amended by such First Supplemental Indenture and such Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Senior Indenture”) and subordinated debt securities will be issued under a “Subordinated Indenture” to be entered into with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. This prospectus sometimes refers to the Senior Indenture and the Subordinated Indenture collectively as the “Indentures” and each individually as an “Indenture.” Certain of such supplemental indentures contain terms that apply only to securities issued thereunder.
The Senior Indenture and form of Subordinated Indenture are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indentures and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.
General
The debt securities will be unsecured obligations of ours. The senior debt securities will rank equally with all of our other senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our present and future senior indebtedness to the extent described herein and in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Because we are a holding company that conducts our operations through our subsidiaries, holders of debt securities will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debtholders, secured creditors, taxing authorities, beneficiaries under title insurance policies, and guarantee holders. As of December 31, 2022, our subsidiaries had total liabilities of approximately $59,610 million. Moreover, our ability to pay principal and interest on the debt securities is, to a large extent, dependent upon our receiving dividends, interest or other amounts from our subsidiaries. Certain of our principal operating subsidiaries are subject to insurance regulations that require minimum amounts of statutory surplus, which may restrict the amount of funds which are available to us from such subsidiaries, or require prior approval from the regulatory agency before those subsidiaries can pay us any extraordinary dividends.
The Indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue and provide that we may issue debt securities under them from time to time in one or more series. The Indentures also do not limit our ability to incur other debt.
Each prospectus supplement will describe the terms relating to the specific series of debt securities being offered. These terms will include some or all of the following:
•
the title of the debt securities, including CUSIP Numbers, and whether they are subordinated debt securities or senior debt securities;
•
any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities which may be authenticated and delivered under the applicable Indenture;
•
the date or dates on which the principal of and premium, if any, on the debt securities is payable or the method of determination thereof;
•
the rate or rates (which may be fixed, variable or zero) at which the debt securities will bear interest, if any, or the method of calculating such rate or rates of interest;
6
•
the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue or the method by which such date or dates will be determined;
•
the dates on which interest will be payable and with respect to registered securities, the regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;
•
the place or places where the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities will be payable;
•
the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, the currency (if other than United States dollars) in which, and the other terms and conditions upon which, the debt securities may be redeemed;
•
our obligation, if any, to redeem or purchase debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or upon the happening of a specified event or at the option of holders of the debt securities and the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which, and the other terms and conditions upon which, debt securities will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, pursuant to such obligation;
•
if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, if registered securities, the denominations in which debt securities will be issuable;
•
if other than United States dollars, the currency for which the debt securities may be purchased or in which the debt securities will be denominated and/or the currency in which the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities will be payable and the particular provisions applicable thereto in accordance with, in addition to, or in lieu of the provisions of the applicable Indenture;
•
if the amount of payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the debt securities will be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method based on a currency or currencies, the index, formula or other method by which such amount will be determined;
•
if the amount of payments of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the debt securities will be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method based on the prices of securities or commodities, with reference to changes in the prices of securities or commodities or otherwise by application of a formula, the index, formula or other method by which such amount will be determined;
•
if other than the entire principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of such debt securities which will be payable upon declaration of acceleration thereof or the method by which such portion will be determined;
•
the person to whom any interest on any registered debt securities will be payable;
•
provisions, if any, granting special rights to the holders of debt securities upon the occurrence of specified events;
•
any addition to or modification or deletion of any Events of Default or any covenants of FNF pertaining to the debt securities;
•
under what circumstances, if any, we will pay additional amounts on the debt securities held by a person who is not a U.S. Person in respect of taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges withheld or deducted and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem such debt securities rather than pay such additional amounts (and the terms of any such option);
•
whether the provisions described below relating to defeasance and covenant defeasance will be applicable to the debt securities of such series;
•
if other than the trustee, the identity of the registrar and any paying agent;
•
if the debt securities will be issued in whole or in part in global form, (i) the depository for such global securities, (ii) whether beneficial owners of interests in any debt securities in global form may exchange such interests for certificated debt securities of like tenor of any authorized form and denomination, and (iii) the circumstances under which any such exchange may occur; and
•
any other terms of the debt securities and any deletions from or modifications or additions to the applicable Indenture, including terms (if any) relating to the redemption of the notes at our option.
7
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be listed on any securities exchange.
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be issued only in registered form without coupons or in the form of one or more global securities.
Debt securities may be sold at a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below market rates. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the federal income tax consequences and special considerations applicable to any such debt securities. The debt securities may also be issued as indexed securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies or currency units, as described in more detail in the prospectus supplement relating to any of the particular debt securities. The prospectus supplement relating to specific debt securities will also describe any special considerations and certain additional tax considerations applicable to such debt securities.
Subordination
The prospectus supplement relating to any offering of subordinated debt securities will describe the specific subordination provisions. However, unless otherwise noted in the prospectus supplement, subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of our Senior Indebtedness (as described below).
Under the Subordinated Indenture, “Senior Indebtedness” means all amounts due on obligations in connection with any of the following, whether outstanding at the date of execution of the Subordinated Indenture or thereafter incurred or created:
•
the principal of or any premium and interest in respect of indebtedness of FNF for borrowed money and indebtedness evidenced by securities, debentures, bonds or other similar instruments issued by FNF;
•
all capital lease obligations of FNF;
•
all obligations of FNF issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property, all conditional sale obligations of FNF and all obligations of FNF under any title retention agreement (but excluding trade accounts payable arising in the ordinary course of business);
•
all obligations of FNF for the reimbursement on any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance, security purchase facility or similar credit transaction;
•
all obligations of FNF in respect of interest rate swap, cap or other agreements, interest rate future or options contracts, currency swap agreements, currency future or option contracts and other similar agreements;
•
all obligations of the types referred to above of other persons for the payment of which FNF is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise; and
•
all obligations of the types referred to above of other persons secured by any lien on any property or asset of FNF whether or not such obligation is assumed by FNF.
Senior Indebtedness does not include:
•
indebtedness or monetary obligations to trade creditors created or assumed by FNF in the ordinary course of business in connection with the obtaining of materials or services;
•
indebtedness that is, by its terms, subordinated to, or ranks equally with, the subordinated debt securities; and
•
any indebtedness of FNF to its subsidiaries unless otherwise expressly provided in the terms of any such indebtedness.
Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and be entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any term of such Senior Indebtedness.
8
Unless otherwise noted in the accompanying prospectus supplement, if we default in the payment of any principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when it becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise, then, unless and until such default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, we will make no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) in respect of the principal of or interest on the subordinated debt securities. Further, if an event of default occurs under any Senior Indebtedness permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof and written notice of such event of default is given to FNF by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, then until such event of default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, no payment may be made on the subordinated debt securities; provided, that if the holders of such Senior Indebtedness do not declare such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable within 180 days after the occurrence of such default, FNF may resume making payments on the subordinated debt securities. Only one such payment blockage period may be commenced in any 365 day period with respect to the subordinated debt securities of any series.
In the event of the acceleration of the maturity of any subordinated debt securities, the holders of all senior debt securities outstanding at the time of such acceleration will first be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due on the senior debt securities before the holders of the subordinated debt securities will be entitled to receive any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the subordinated debt securities.
If any of the following events occurs, we will pay in full all Senior Indebtedness before we make any payment or distribution under the subordinated debt securities, whether in cash, securities or other property, to any holder of subordinated debt securities:
•
any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of FNF, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership;
•
any general assignment by FNF for the benefit of creditors; or
•
any other marshaling of FNF’s assets or liabilities.
In such event, any payment or distribution under the subordinated debt securities, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than certain permitted junior securities), which would otherwise (but for the subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the subordinated debt securities, will be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full. If any payment or distribution under the subordinated debt securities is received by the trustee of any subordinated debt securities in contravention of any of the terms of the Subordinated Indenture and before all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security will be received in trust for the benefit of, and paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full.
The Subordinated Indenture does not limit the issuance of additional Senior Indebtedness.
In the event subordinated debt securities are issued pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture or any other subordinated indenture with a trustee which is also a trustee for senior debt securities pursuant to the Senior Indenture, the occurrence of any default under such subordinated indenture or such Senior Indenture could create a conflicting interest for the respective trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. If such default has not been cured or waived within 90 days after such trustee has or acquires a conflicting interest, such trustee generally is required by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 to eliminate such conflicting interest or resign as trustee with respect to the debt securities issued under such Senior Indenture or such subordinated indenture. In the event of the trustee’s resignation, we will promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the affected securities.
Restrictive Covenant
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following restrictive covenant shall apply to each series of senior debt securities:
Limitation on Liens. We shall not, and shall not permit any of our covered subsidiaries (as defined below) to, incur, assume or guarantee any debt secured by any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security
9
interest, conditional sale or other title retention agreement or other encumbrance (“lien”) on any voting stock issued by any of our covered subsidiaries, unless the senior debt of each series then outstanding are, for so long as such debt is so secured, secured by such voting stock equally and ratably with (or prior to) such debt. However, this requirement does not apply to:
•
liens existing at the time a corporation or other entity becomes a covered subsidiary or any renewal, extension or replacement, in whole or in part, of any such liens;
•
liens on shares of subsidiaries that are not covered subsidiaries; and
•
any series of senior debt securities at any time when no securities of such series are outstanding.
Each lien, if any, granted, pursuant to the provisions described above, to secure any senior debt securities shall automatically and unconditionally be deemed to be released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the lien whose existence caused such securities to be required to be so secured, provided such lien is not then otherwise required, by the provisions described above, to so secure such senior debt securities.
“Covered subsidiaries” generally means any present or future subsidiary of us, the consolidated total assets of which, determined as of the last day of our most recent fiscal quarter ended at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of determination, for which fiscal quarter internal financial statements are available and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect on the last day of such fiscal quarter, constitute at least 15% of our total consolidated assets, and any successor to any such subsidiary whose consolidated total assets likewise satisfy such requirement. However covered subsidiaries does not in any event include any of our subsidiaries that is not itself an insurance company or the direct or indirect owner of one or more subsidiaries that is an insurance company.
Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may not consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, convey, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to, any person unless:
•
the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than FNF), or which acquires our assets, is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
•
the person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than FNF), or which acquires our assets, expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the debt securities and the Indentures; and
•
immediately after giving effect to the transaction no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing.
We shall deliver to the trustee prior to the proposed transaction an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel each stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable Indenture and that all conditions precedent to the consummation of the transaction under the applicable Indenture have been met.
If we consolidate or merge with or into any other corporation or sell all or substantially all of our assets according to the terms and conditions of the Indentures, the resulting or acquiring corporation will be substituted for us under the Indentures with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the Indentures. As a result, such successor corporation may exercise our rights and powers under the Indentures, in our name or its own name, and we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the Indentures and under the notes.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following shall constitute “Events of Default” under the Indentures with respect to debt securities of any series:
•
default in the payment of any interest on any debt security of such series when due and payable for 30 days;
10
•
default in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on any debt security of such series when due (whether at stated maturity, upon redemption, repurchase at the option of the holder or otherwise), or default in the making of any mandatory sinking fund payment;
•
default, but in the Subordinated Indenture only default in any material respect, in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty with respect to any debt security of such series, and the continuance of such default or breach for 60 days after we receive written notice of such default or breach;
•
default under our indebtedness (other than securities of such series) in the payment by us, when due, of an aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness exceeding $100,000,000, or default under any such indebtedness (other than securities of such series) which results in such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $100,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, in each case without such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled, or such indebtedness having been paid in full, or there having been deposited into trust a sum of money sufficient to pay in full such indebtedness, within 10 days after receipt of written notice of such default or breach (which notice shall state that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under the indenture) to the us (by registered or certified mail) by the trustee or to us and the Trustee (in each case by registered or certified mail) by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding securities of such series;
•
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of FNF; and
•
any other event of default with respect to any debt security of such series including an event of default provided for in a supplemental indenture.
If an Event of Default with respect to any debt securities of any series outstanding under either of the Indentures occurs and is continuing, the trustee under such Indenture or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare, by written notice to us (and if given by the holders, to the trustee), the principal of and accrued interest, if any, on all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable immediately; provided that, after such a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by written notice to the trustee, rescind or annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, have been cured or waived.
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series, by written notice to the trustee, may waive any past default or event of default with respect to that series except (i) a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any debt security of such series or (ii) default in respect of a covenant or provision which may not be amended or modified without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any event of default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured.
The trustee is not required to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the applicable Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities of any series, unless the holders have offered the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee. Subject to such right of indemnification and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series.
No holder of a debt security of any series may institute any proceeding with respect to the Indentures or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy unless (i) the holder has given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of such series, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding shall have made a written request to the trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as trustee, (iii) the holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in pursuing the remedy, (iv) the trustee has failed
11
to institute any such proceedings for 60 days after its receipt of such request, and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding have not given to the trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.
Each year, we will either certify to the relevant trustee that we are not in default of any of our obligations under the applicable Indenture or we will notify the relevant trustee of any default that exists under the applicable Indenture. In addition, we have agreed to deliver to the trustee, promptly after we become aware of the occurrence of a default or an event of default of the character specified in the fourth bullet point under the caption “Events of Default, Notice and Waiver” above, written notice of the occurrence of such default or event of default.
Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may discharge or defease our obligations under each Indenture as set forth below.
We may discharge certain obligations to holders of any series of debt securities which have not already been delivered to the trustee for cancellation and which have either become due and payable or are by their terms due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the trustee cash or government obligations (as defined in either Indenture) or a combination thereof, as trust funds in an amount certified to be sufficient to pay and discharge when due, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such debt securities and any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to such debt securities.
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect either (i) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the debt securities of or within any series (except as otherwise provided in the relevant Indenture) (“defeasance”) or (ii) to be released from our obligations with respect to certain covenants applicable to the debt securities of or within any series (“covenant defeasance”), upon the deposit with the relevant trustee of money and/or government obligations in sufficient quantity that will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium or interest on such debt securities to maturity or redemption and any mandatory sinking fund payments thereon. As a condition to defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of affected debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred. Such opinion of counsel, in the case of defeasance under clause (i) above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal income tax law occurring after the date of the relevant Indenture. In addition, in the case of either defeasance or covenant defeasance, we shall have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to such defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied with.
We may exercise our defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option.
Modification of the Indentures
Under the Indentures, we and the applicable trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into supplemental indentures without the consent of any holders of debt securities to:
•
evidence the succession of another person to FNF and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of FNF in the Indentures and in the debt securities; or
•
add to the covenants of FNF for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities or surrender any right or power conferred upon FNF in the Indentures; or
•
add any additional Events of Default with respect to all or any series of debt securities; or
•
amend or supplement any provision contained in the Indentures or in any supplemental indentures, provided that such amendment or supplement does not apply to any outstanding debt security issued prior to the date of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefits of such provision; or
12
•
secure the debt securities; or
•
establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series as permitted by the Indentures; or
•
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of one or more series under the Indentures and add to or change any of the provisions of the Indentures as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one trustee under the Indentures; or
•
if allowed without penalty under applicable laws and regulations, permit payment in the United States of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on coupons, if any; or
•
cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake or correct or supplement any provision in the Indentures which may be inconsistent with any other provision in the Indentures or make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indentures, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series; or
•
make any change to comply with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 or any amendment thereof, or any requirement of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indentures under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 or any amendment thereof.
With the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture, we and the applicable trustee may enter into supplemental indentures to add provisions to, or change or eliminate any provisions of either Indenture or any supplemental indenture or to modify the rights of the holders of the debt securities of each series so affected. However, we need the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected in order to:
•
change the stated maturity of the principal of or premium, if any, on or of any installment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or additional amounts, if any, with respect to, any debt security; or
•
reduce the principal amount of, or any installment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or any additional amounts payable with respect to, any debt security or the rate of interest on any debt security; or
•
reduce the amount of premium, if any, payable upon redemption of any debt security or the repurchase by us of any debt security at the option of the holder of such debt security; or
•
change the manner in which the amount of any principal of or premium, if any, or interest on or additional amounts, if any, with respect to, any debt security is determined; or
•
reduce the amount of the principal of any original issue discount security or indexed security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof; or
•
change the currency in which any debt securities or any premium or the interest thereon or additional amounts, if any, with respect thereto, is payable; or
•
change the index, securities or commodities with reference to which or the formula by which the amount of principal of or any premium or the interest on any debt security is determined; or
•
impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or on or after the redemption date or on or after the repurchase date, as the case may be); or
•
reduce the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series, the consent of whose holders is required for any such supplemental indenture or for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the applicable Indenture or certain defaults under the applicable Indenture and their consequences) provided for in the applicable Indenture;
•
change any obligation of FNF to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes specified in the Indentures; or
•
make any change in the provision governing waiver of past defaults, except to increase the percentage in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series, the holders of which may
13
waive past defaults on behalf of holders of all debt securities of such series, or make any change in the provision governing supplemental indentures that require consent of holders of debt securities, except to provide that certain other provisions of the applicable Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holders of each outstanding debt security affected thereby.
Governing Law
The Indentures and debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
Relationship with the Trustees
The trustee under the Indentures is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. We and our subsidiaries maintain ordinary banking and trust relationships with a number of banks and trust companies, including the trustee under the Indentures.
Conversion or Exchange Rights
The prospectus supplement will describe the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for securities described in this prospectus. These terms will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option.
14
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the debt securities being offered hereby in one or more of the following ways from time to time:
•
to underwriters or dealers for resale to the public or to institutional investors;
•
directly to institutional investors; or
•
through agents to the public or to institutional investors.
The prospectus supplement with respect to each series of securities will state the terms of the offering of the debt securities, including:
•
the name or names of any underwriters or agents;
•
the purchase price of the debt securities and the proceeds to be received by us from the sale;
•
any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;
•
any initial public offering price;
•
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
•
any securities exchange on which the securities may be listed.
If we use underwriters in the sale, the debt securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:
•
negotiated transactions;
•
at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed;
•
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
•
at prices related to prevailing market prices; or
•
at negotiated prices.
The debt securities may also be offered and sold, if so indicated in the prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. The prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and will describe the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and its compensation.
Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.
If we sell the debt securities directly or through agents designated by us, we will identify any agent involved in the offering and sale of the debt securities and will list any commissions payable by us to the agent in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Unless indicated otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase debt securities and provide for payment and delivery on a future date specified in an accompanying prospectus supplement. We will describe any such arrangement in the prospectus supplement. Any such institutional investor may be subject to limitations on the minimum amount of debt securities that it may purchase or on the portion of the aggregate principal amount of such debt securities that it may sell under such arrangements. Institutional investors from which such authorized offers may be solicited include:
•
commercial and savings banks;
•
insurance companies;
•
pension funds;
15
•
investment companies;
•
educational and charitable institutions; and
•
such other institutions as we may approve.
Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms, and their control persons, may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Each series of debt securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market. The debt securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. Any underwriters to whom we sell debt securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the debt securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.

The Registrant is registering an indeterminate amount of debt securities under this Registration Statement and in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r), the Registrant is deferring payment of the registration fee.
**
Because an indeterminate amount of debt securities is covered by this registration statement, the expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the debt securities are not currently determinable. An estimate of the aggregate amount of these expenses will be reflected in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the registrant. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification by the registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.
The registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (i) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (ii) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
II-2
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
II-3
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the issuance and/or sale by the Company from time to time of an indeterminate amount of the Company’s senior and/or subordinated debt securities (the “Debt Securities”).
In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company; (ii) the Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; (iii) the Registration Statement; (iv) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”); (v) the indenture, dated as of December 8, 2005 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly known as The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by (a) that certain first supplemental indenture, dated as of January 6, 2006 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) and (b) that certain second supplemental indenture, dated as of May 5, 2010 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture” and the Base Indenture, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”); (vi) that certain form of Subordinated Indenture between the Company and the Trustee (the “Subordinated Indenture”) and (vii) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.

We have further assumed that (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including any post-effective amendments) will have become effective and comply with all applicable laws and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been issued and remain in effect, in each case, at the time the Debt Securities are offered or issued, as contemplated by the Registration Statement; (ii) a prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the Debt Securities offered thereby and will at all relevant times comply with all applicable laws; (iii) the Company has timely filed all necessary reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are incorporated into the Registration Statement by reference; (iv) all Debt Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the applicable prospectus supplement; (v) a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement and any other necessary agreement with respect to any Debt Securities will have been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other party or parties thereto; (vi) any legally required consents, approvals, authorizations or orders of the Commission and any other regulatory authority will have been issued; (vii) the Subordinated Indenture has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the other party or parties thereto; and (viii) the terms of any Debt Securities and their issuance and sale will have been duly established so as not to violate any applicable law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding on the Company, and so as to comply with any requirements or restrictions imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we advise you that in our opinion, when (i) the terms of the Debt Securities to be issued under the Indenture and any applicable supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate and their issuance and sale have been duly authorized; (ii) such supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate has been duly authorized, executed and delivered; and (iii) the Debt Securities have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company and validly executed and authenticated in accordance with the Indenture or the Subordinated Indenture, as the case may be, and any applicable supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate and issued, sold and paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, Prospectus and any prospectus supplement relating thereto and in accordance with any applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement, then such Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and the laws of the State of New York, and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
