TABLE OF CONTENTS
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On January 6, 2006, Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (the Company or FNT)
announced certain changes to and the extension of its pending offers to exchange outstanding notes
of its parent company, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF) for newly issued FNT
notes. The exchange offers have been amended to change the covenants and events of default
contained in the indenture under which the new FNT notes will be
issued (the FNT Indenture) to
more closely conform to those originally applicable to the FNF notes. The offers have also been
amended to eliminate a waiver of past defaults that had been requested, although the Company was
not aware that any such defaults actually existed. Finally, the offers were amended to waive the
condition that FNT receive sufficient valid consents to effect the amendments to the indenture
governing the FNF notes (the FNF Indenture) described in the prospectus for the exchange offers.
The Company has filed an amended Prospectus and Consent Solicitation Statement (the Amended
Prospectus) describing the changes to the exchange offers with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The changes to the FNT Indenture will be effected through a supplement indenture (the FNT
Supplemental Indenture), which will be executed prior to the FNT notes being issued in the
exchange offers. The form of the FNT Supplemental Indenture is attached as an exhibit hereto.
To reflect the elimination of the waiver of past defaults, the attached form of FNF Supplemental
Indenture has been changed from the form of FNF Supplemental Indenture previously filed as exhibit
4.4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the exchange offers and now replaces that form in
its entirety. The attached form of FNF Supplemental Indenture will be executed to effect the
amendments to the FNF Indenture described in the Amended Prospectus under the caption The Proposed
Amendments.
The forms of FNT notes being issued in the exchange offers that were filed as exhibits 4.6 and 4.7
to the Registration Statement have also been amended to reflect the changes to the events of
default provision in the FNT Indenture that will be effected through the FNT Supplemental
Indenture. The updated forms of FNT notes are filed as exhibits hereto.
Along with the Amended Prospectus, the Company is providing holders of FNF notes an updated Letter
of Transmittal and Consent that can be used to tender their FNF notes in the exchange offers. The
new Letter of Transmittal and Consent is filed herewith. As described in the Amended Prospectus,
the Company will deem all notes validly tendered using the prior form of the Letter of Transmittal
and Consent to have been validly tendered using the form attached hereto and delivered with the
Amended Prospectus. Further, the Company will deem any agreement to be bound by the terms of the
Letter of Transmittal and Consent that is or has been received by agents message to be an
agreement to be bound by the form attached hereto and delivered with the Amended Prospectus.
Updated Letters to Beneficial Owners and Letters to Depository Trust Company Participants are also
filed herewith. These letters have been amended to reflect the extension of the exchange offers
and the amendments described in the Amended Prospectus.
