JACKSONVILLE, Fla. and DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 7, 2025 – Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF), a heavyweight in title insurance and transaction services for the real estate and mortgage sectors, alongside F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (NYSE: FG), announced today a strategic move to distribute a portion of FNF’s stake in F&G to its shareholders. The FNF Board has greenlit a special stock distribution, transferring approximately 16 million shares of F&G common stock, currently held by FNF (a majority-owned subsidiary), to FNF shareholders. This represents roughly 12% of F&G’s outstanding shares.

The distribution is slated for December 31, 2025 (the “Distribution Date”), impacting all FNF shareholders of record as of 4:30 p.m. ET on December 17, 2025 (the “Record Date”). The distribution will be a pro rata common stock distribution. As of November 5, 2025, FNF reported approximately 271 million outstanding shares of its common stock. Based on this figure, the company anticipates distributing approximately six shares of F&G’s common stock for every 100 shares of FNF’s common stock held on the Record Date. The final distribution ratio will be contingent on the number of outstanding FNF shares on the Record Date.

Fractional shares of F&G common stock will not be distributed. Instead, FNF shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional share they would have otherwise been entitled to. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the distribution is intended to be classified as a taxable dividend for FNF shareholders.

According to company statements, this distribution underscores FNF’s strong belief in F&G’s long-term potential. The move is strategically aimed at unlocking shareholder value by boosting market liquidity for F&G’s shares and broadening investor access. Analysts will be watching closely to see how this impacts both FNF and F&G’s valuations in the coming quarters. The mechanics of the distribution are designed to be straightforward for investors.

Information Regarding the Distribution

No shareholder vote or action is required for FNF shareholders to receive the F&G common stock distribution.

FNF shareholders of record on the Record Date will receive account statements reflecting their newly acquired ownership interest in F&G. The shares will be held in book-entry form. Shareholders holding FNF shares through brokers or nominees will have their F&G shares credited directly to their accounts by those entities. Shareholders are not required to pay any consideration, surrender, or exchange FNF shares to receive the F&G distribution.

Further details about the distribution and both FNF and F&G can be found at investor.fnf.com and investors.fglife.com. Additionally, reports filed by both companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are accessible at www.sec.gov.
