Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. Announce the
Signing of a Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement

Jacksonville, Fla. — (June 26, 2006) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF) and Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (NYSE:FNT) today announced that they have signed a Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement which contemplates the contribution of substantially all of FNF’s assets and liabilities, other than its ownership interest in Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (NYSE:FIS), to FNT in exchange for shares of FNT’s Class A Common Stock. Immediately following this transaction, FNF will convert its Class B Common Stock of FNT into shares of FNT Class A Common Stock and then distribute all of the shares of FNT Class A Common Stock it holds as a dividend to FNF stockholders. This spin-off dividend is subject to, among other things, receipt of an IRS private letter ruling with respect to the tax-free treatment for both FNF and its stockholders. Closing of the transactions is expected early in the fourth quarter of 2006

Under the terms of the Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement, FNT will obtain FNF’s Specialty Insurance businesses, its interest in Sedgwick CMS, Inc. and related businesses and other assets currently owned by FNF (the “FNF Assets”). As consideration, FNT will issue to FNF a number of shares of FNT Class A Common Stock equal to (i) 34,042,553 plus (ii) the amount of cash included in the FNF Assets, not to exceed $275 million for the purposes of the calculation, divided by $23.50. At the anticipated amount of cash of $275 million, FNT will issue 45,744,680 shares of FNT Class A Common Stock to FNF. Combined with FNF’s 143,176,041 shares of FNT Class B Common Stock that will be converted into FNT Class A Common Stock, FNF anticipates distributing a total of 188,920,721 shares of FNT Class A Common Stock as a dividend to FNF stockholders. Any future acquisitions in the Specialty Insurance businesses, Sedgwick CMS, Inc. and related businesses or other acquisitions that are

consummated before the closing of the contribution of the FNF Assets from FNF to FNT will be included in the FNF Assets to be contributed to FNT. The value of any additional assets acquired by FNF will not impact the total consideration to be paid by FNT for the FNF Assets as any additional acquired assets would reduce the cash component of other assets or would be funded through borrowings at the respective operating subsidiary.

In connection with the proposed transaction, William P. Foley, II will become the Chief Executive Officer of FNT and Alan L. Stinson will become its Chief Operating Officer. Approximately 6.5 million options to purchase FNF stock that are held by persons who will become FNT employees will be replaced at their intrinsic value with FNT options having the same terms and provisions.

FNF and FIS also announced today that they have agreed to merge, effective immediately after the completion of FNF’s spin-off of FNT. Following this merger, FNT will change its name to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and it is expected that its NYSE ticker symbol will change to “FNF”.

The Boards of Directors of FNF and FNT each approved the transactions contemplated by the Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement after receiving the recommendation of a special committee of independent members of their respective boards.

The issuance of FNT stock as consideration for the purchase of the FNF Assets, and certain other items in connection with the transaction, will require FNT shareholder approval. Accordingly, as soon as practicable, FNT, in consultation with FNF, will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) an Information Statement relating to required shareholder approvals. Once the Information Statement is cleared by the SEC, and the SEC filings by FNF and FIS for the FIS merger are cleared, FNT will schedule a shareholder vote and mail the Information Statement to its shareholders.

Completion of the transactions will be subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to: approval of the shareholders of each of FNF, FNT and FIS; the receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service; the clearance of Proxy and Information

Statements by the SEC; the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals for the transfer of FNF’s Specialty Insurance operations to FNT and for the spin-off of FNT’s insurance operations; the receipt of necessary approvals under credit agreements of FNF, FNT and FIS and any other material agreements; and the other conditions set forth in the Securities Exchange and Distribution Agreement and in the merger agreement for the FIS merger. There can be no assurance that any or all of these conditions will be satisfied or that the transactions will be completed.
