RICHMOND, Virginia —November 20, 2003—LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: LFG) today announced the pricing of its offering of $100.0 million principal amount of 3⅛% Convertible Senior Debentures due 2033.

The debentures are convertible under certain circumstances into LandAmerica common stock at a conversion rate of 14.9162 shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (equal to an initial conversion price of $67.04 per share), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.  LandAmerica may, under certain circumstances, settle all or a portion of the conversion of the debentures in cash in lieu of shares of LandAmerica common stock.

Holders may require LandAmerica to repurchase the debentures on November 15 of 2010, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028 or upon the occurrence of certain designated events at a repurchase price equal to the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

The debentures and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
