Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Announces Formation of Board of Directors for

Fidelity National Title Group, Inc.

Jacksonville, Fla. — (July 27, 2005) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a Fortune 500 provider of products and outsourced services and solutions to financial institutions and the real estate industry, today announced that it has formed a Board of Directors for Fidelity National Title Group (“FNT”) that will be effective upon the distribution of the stock of FNT.

     Current FNF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Foley will also be Chairman of the FNT Board of Directors. Current FNF board members Willie Davis, John Farrell, Phil Heasley, Bill Imparato, Don Koll, General William Lyon and Frank Willey will transition from their roles as directors of FNF and become solely directors of FNT.

     Current FNF board members Terry Christensen, Tom Hagerty, Ron Lane and Cary Thompson will remain directors of FNF. Additionally, Doug Ammerman has been named a director of FNF. Mr. Ammerman is a retired KPMG partner.

     “The formation of this board sets the stage for FNF to truly operate as a holding company,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William P.Foley, II . “FNF will initially have majority ownership positions in Fidelity National Title Group and Fidelity National Information Services and 100% ownership of our specialty insurance business. As a holding company, FNF will have the flexibility to make investments in other lines of business that it feels will allow it to best achieve its ultimate goal of maximizing FNF shareholder value. Attainment of that goal may involve investments in businesses that are not directly tied to or synergistic with our existing title, financial processing and specialty insurance lines of business.”
