     Fidelity National Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Fidelity”), Security Union Title Insurance Company, a California corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity (“Security Union”), and Fidelity National Title Company of New York, a New York corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity (“Fidelity Title”), pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, hereby file this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) which amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2002 (the “Schedule 13D”) and the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on January 8, 2003 (the “Amendment No. 1”) by Fidelity, Security Union and Fidelity Title, with respect to the shares of Common Stock, no par value (the “ANFI Common Stock”) of ANFI, Inc., a California corporation (“ANFI” or the “Company”). Fidelity, Security Union and Fidelity Title are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

     The Schedule 13D and the Amendment No. 1 are each hereby amended as follows.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     On January 9, 2003, Fidelity entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among ANFI Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity (“Merger Sub”), and ANFI. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, ANFI will be merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub emerging as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of ANFI Common Stock (other than ANFI treasury stock or shares of ANFI Common Stock owned by Fidelity or any of its subsidiaries) will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.4540 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Fidelity (“Fidelity Common Stock”). In addition, when the Merger is completed, each unexercised stock option to buy ANFI Common Stock outstanding under ANFI’s stock option plans and each warrant to purchase ANFI Common Stock will become an option or warrant to purchase Fidelity Common Stock. The number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock subject to each new option or warrant, as well as the exercise price of each new option or warrant, will be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio and the applicable terms of the Merger. The consummation of the Merger is subject to regulatory approvals, the approval of the shareholders of ANFI and other customary closing conditions. There can be no guarantee that the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will close by any particular date, if at all.

     As a condition and inducement to the execution of the Merger Agreement, Fidelity entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2003 (the “Voting Agreement”), with each of the shareholders of ANFI listed on Appendix A (the “ANFI Holders”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of the ANFI Holders has agreed to vote its shares of ANFI Common Stock (plus any additional shares of capital stock or other voting securities of ANFI or any of its subsidiaries, beneficial ownership of which is directly or indirectly acquired after the date thereof, including, without limitation, shares received pursuant to any stock splits, stock dividends or distributions, shares acquired by purchase or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any option, warrant or convertible security or otherwise, and shares or any voting securities of ANFI or any of its subsidiaries received pursuant to any change in the capital stock of ANFI or such subsidiary by reason of any recapitalization, merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or the like) beneficially owned by such ANFI Holder (the “ANFI Holder Shares”) at every ANFI shareholders meeting and every written consent in lieu of such a meeting (i) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance of the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement; (ii) against any action that is reasonably likely to result in breach in any

 


Table of Contents

material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation of ANFI or the ANFI Holder pursuant to the Voting Agreement; and (iii) against any competing Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

     Under the Voting Agreement, each ANFI Holder also agreed to revoke any and all previous proxies with respect to its ANFI Holder Shares, to the extent such proxies are inconsistent with the terms of the Voting Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the ANFI Holders granted to certain officers of Fidelity an irrevocable proxy to vote or act by written consent with respect to the ANFI Holder Shares in accordance with the foregoing in respect of any matter specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

     Under the Voting Agreement, each ANFI Holder agreed, until the earlier of the effective time of the Merger or the Expiration Date not to (i) offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the offer for sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of such ANFI Holder Shares or any interest therein, except, if such ANFI Holder is an individual, such ANFI Holder may transfer ANFI Holder Shares by gift, will, or intestate succession to such ANFI Holder’s immediate family or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively such ANFI Holder or member of such ANFI Holder’s immediate family so long as the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement; (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any ANFI Holder Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any ANFI Holder Shares, or any interest in any of the ANFI Holder Shares, except specifically permitted by the Voting Agreement; or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of such ANFI Holder contained in the Voting Agreement materially incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling such ANFI Holder from performing its obligations under the Voting Agreement.

     Under the Voting Agreement, each ANFI Holder further agreed, until the earlier of the effective time of the Merger or the Expiration Date, that such ANFI Holder shall (i) immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Persons (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) not, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage (including, without limitation, by way of furnishing any information or assistance), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any Acquisition Proposal; and (iii) promptly notify Fidelity of any written Acquisition Proposal received by such ANFI Holder. In addition, each ANFI Holder agreed to give prompt written notice to Fidelity of any development occurring after the date of the Voting Agreement that causes, or reasonably could be expected to cause, a breach by such ANFI Holder of any of the representations and warranties contained in the Voting Agreement.

     The Voting Agreement and the irrevocable proxy granted therein shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (the “Expiration Date”): (i) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated; and (ii) the effective time of the Merger.

     Fidelity did not pay additional consideration to any ANFI Holder in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting Agreement. Fidelity may be deemed to have obtained beneficial ownership of ANFI Common Stock pursuant to the Voting Agreement.

     On January 14, 2003, Fidelity entered into a written waiver (the “Waiver”) with the ANFI Holders, whereby Fidelity waived any rights it may have to enforce the transfer prohibition as it

(b) The Holder agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of its Holder Shares at the ANFI Shareholders Meeting (i) in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance of the Merger as set forth in the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any action or agreement that is reasonably likely to result in breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty, or any other obligation of ANFI or the Holder pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) against any competing Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement). 3.2 Transfer; Additional Shares (a) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, or required by law or court order, the Holder shall not: (i) offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the offer for sale, transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, any or all of its Holder Shares or any interest therein, (ii) grant any proxies or powers of attorney or deposit any Holder Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Holder Shares or (iii) take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Holder contained herein materially incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Holder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if the Holder is an individual, he or she may transfer Holder Shares (or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for Holder Shares) by gift, will, or intestate succession to his or her immediate family or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or a member or members of his or her immediate family (for purposes of this paragraph, "immediate family" shall mean spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor) so long as the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. 3 (b) Without limiting the provisions of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement will apply to the Holder Shares at the time the Holder becomes the record owner thereof or becomes entitled under applicable law to vote or direct the voting of such shares, as though they were ANFI Shares as of the date of this Agreement. While this Agreement is in effect, the Holder will promptly notify Fidelity of the number of new ANFI Shares as to which the Holder acquires record title or to which the Holder becomes entitled under applicable law to vote or direct the voting thereof. 3.3 Revocation of Other Proxies To the extent inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Article 3 or the other provisions of this Agreement, the Holder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies with respect to its Holder Shares. 3.4 Grant of Proxy The Holder hereby appoints William P. Foley, II and Tom D. Le, or either of them, its proxy to vote all of its Holder Shares at the ANFI Shareholders Meeting (including any adjournments and postponements thereof) in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and to execute and deliver any written consents to fulfill the Holder's obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that such appointment shall remain in effect only if this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 5. This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the earlier of the effectiveness of the Merger and the date the Merger Agreement is terminated according to its terms. ARTICLE 4.
