Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 27, 2010, the Board of Directors of The First American Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Bylaws of CoreLogic, Inc. (“CoreLogic”), the new Delaware corporation that will be the successor to the Company if the Company’s shareholders approve the Company’s reincorporating under the laws of the State of Delaware, as set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to shareholders on April 13, 2010. The amendment to Section 9.1 of the Bylaws below would be effective immediately following the adoption of the Bylaws in connection with the reincorporation, and clarifies that the majority voting provision of the Bylaws may not be amended or repealed without stockholder approval.

Prior to the amendment, the first sentence of Section 9.1 of CoreLogic’s Bylaws reads as follows:

“In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws.”

As amended, the first sentence of Section 9.1 of the Bylaws will read as follows:

“In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws, except that the portion of the second sentence of Section 3.2 providing that directors shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast at the stockholders’ annual meeting with respect to the director nominee may only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote.”

The relevant portion of the Bylaws, as amended by the Board, is shown in its entirety on Exhibit 99.1 hereto, with deletions indicated by strike-outs and additions indicated by underlining.

The information in this current report, including the exhibit hereto, is being “furnished” in accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K. As such, this information is not deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act and is not incorporated by reference into any filings with the SEC unless it shall be explicitly so incorporated in such filings.

Section 9.1 Amendments. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws, except that the portion of the second sentence of Section 3.2 providing that directors shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast at the stockholders’ annual meeting with respect to the director nominee may only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote. In addition to any requirements of law and any other provision of these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation, and notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, the Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority in voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, any provision of these Bylaws.
