Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On January 18, 2006, Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (the Company or FNT)
completed its offers to exchange outstanding notes of its parent company, Fidelity National
Financial, Inc. (FNF) for newly issued FNT notes. In connection with the completion of
the exchange offers, on January 18, 2006 the Company entered into a Supplemental Indenture, dated
as of January 6, 2006, with the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the Supplemental
Indenture), to effect amendments to the Indenture, dated as of December 8, 2005, between the
Company and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the Indenture), to
change the covenants and events of default contained in the Indenture to more closely conform to
those originally applicable to the FNF notes obtained in the exchange offers.
The Supplemental Indenture amends provisions of the Indenture relating to limitations on liens
incurred by FNT and occurrences that would constitute events of default under the Indenture. The
Supplemental Indenture also amends the Indenture by adding certain covenants relating to the
Companys maintenance of insurance and books and records of account, and its compliance with law.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as an exhibit
to this report and incorporated by reference herein.
The Company and FNF have also effected certain changes to the Companys mirror note obligations to
FNF to correspond to the changes to FNFs outstanding debt obligations resulting from the exchange
offers. The Company has delivered to FNF, in partial redemption of the Companys $250,000,000
7.30% Mirror Note due August 15, 2011, the $241,347,000 aggregate principal amount of FNFs 7.30%
Notes due August 15, 2011 the Company obtained in the exchange offers. To reflect this partial
redemption, the 7.30% Mirror Note due August 15, 2011 has been replaced with an identical mirror
note in a denomination equal in aggregate principal amount to its unredeemed portion. The
replacement mirror note has the same form, terms and stated maturity as the mirror note it
replaces, but carries a face value of $8,653,000 in aggregate principal amount. The replacement
mirror note is attached as an exhibit hereto. FNT may seek to acquire some or all of the 7.30% FNF
Notes remaining outstanding, through purchases in the open market, privately negotiated purchases
or otherwise. In the event that any such notes are acquired by FNT, it is anticipated that FNT
would deliver them to FNF in further redemption of the remaining 7.30% Mirror Note due August 15,
2011.

In connection with the completion of the exchange offers, the Company has delivered to FNF, in full
redemption of the Companys $250,000,000 5.25% Mirror Note due March 15, 2013, the $250,000,000
aggregate principal amount of FNFs 5.25% Notes due March 15, 2013 the Company obtained in the
exchange offers. As a result, the Companys 5.25% Mirror Note due March 15, 2013 has been
cancelled.
