INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 9, 2009, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on October 30, 2009, and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on November 3, 2009, by The First American Corporation, a California corporation (“First American”), relating to the offer by First American to exchange for each outstanding share of Class A common stock (such shares, the “Class A Shares”) of First Advantage Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“First Advantage”), 0.58 of a First American common share.

The offer is made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the final prospectus, dated November 10, 2009 (the “Prospectus”), which forms part of First American’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, and in the related letter of transmittal (which together constitute the “Offer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Prospectus.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9 AND 11.

Items 1 through 9 and 11 are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“The initial offering period for the Offer expired as scheduled at the Expiration Time, 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on November 10, 2009. The Exchange Agent has advised First American that, as of the Expiration Time, 13,779,301 Class A Shares had been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn from the Offer, including 737,241 Class A Shares subject to guaranteed delivery procedures. The Class A Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, together with the Class A Shares delivered through notices of guaranteed delivery, represent approximately 88% of the Class A Shares outstanding. First American has accepted for payment all Class A Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Giving effect to the conversion of Class B Shares owned by First American, First American now owns approximately 57,308,552 Class A Shares, representing approximately 96% of the equity interest in First Advantage.

On November 11, 2009, First American issued a press release announcing that it had commenced a subsequent offering period for all remaining untendered Class A Shares, effective as of 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on November 11, 2009 (the “Press Release”). The subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on November 17, 2009, unless extended. Any such extension will be followed by a public announcement no later than 9:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next business day after the subsequent offering period is scheduled to expire.

All Class A Shares validly tendered during the subsequent offering period will be immediately accepted for payment by First American, and each tendering First Advantage stockholder will promptly thereafter receive the Exchange Ratio for such tendered Class A Shares—0.58 of a First American common share. Procedures for tendering Class A Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as during the initial offering period, except that (1) Class A Shares cannot be delivered by the guaranteed delivery procedures, and (2) as permitted by Rule 14d-7(a)(2) promulgated under the Exchange Act, Class A Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn.

The full text of the Press Release is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(v) and is incorporated herein by reference.”
