  • Fidelity National Financial Completes Planned Transaction to Distribute Approximately 15% Ownership of F&G to FNF Shareholders

    December 5, 2022 by Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

    JACKSONVILLE, Fla.Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) (“FNF” or the “Company”), a leading provider of title insurance and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries and a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients through FNF’s subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. (“F&G”), today announced completion of the distribution to FNF shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of approximately 15% of the common stock of its subsidiary, F&G. Effective today, F&G has commenced “regular-way” trading of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “FG”. FNF retains control of F&G through an approximate 85% equity ownership stake and will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “FNF”.

    William P. Foley, II, Chairman of the Board of FNF, commented, “We are pleased to have successfully completed our planned dividend to FNF shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of approximately 15% of F&G’s common stock, which we believe will highlight the substantial equity value of F&G that has been and will continue to be created. At the time of our acquisition of F&G in June of 2020, we committed to F&G doubling assets under management to $50 billion over five years through organic growth. In just over two years, Chris and his team are well ahead of expectations with F&G’s assets under management increasing to $42 billion as of the third quarter of 2022. This financial performance not only validates our initial strategy during the acquisition, it also provides confidence for the future of F&G and its ability to generate value for both FNF and F&G shareholders.”

    Mike Nolan, Chief Executive Officer of FNF, said, “We want to congratulate the F&G team on their transition back to a public company. Importantly, we remain committed to F&G’s business and talented team as F&G continues to grow through its multi-channel new business platform, while also benefitting from the rising interest rate environment. As F&G continues to scale, their steady and growing earnings over time will provide a counterbalance for our business during higher mortgage rate environments. In fact, F&G has contributed $900 million of adjusted net earnings over the last nine quarters on a cumulative basis. By retaining an approximate 85% majority interest in F&G, we will continue to benefit from F&G’s growth and cash flow generation.” 

    Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer of F&G, added, “We are thrilled to achieve this milestone in partnership with FNF and appreciate their continued support. Since the time of our merger with FNF, we have successfully and profitably increased our market share as a result of greater exposure to new and existing products and distribution channels, growing assets under management to $42 billion. As a result, our business has reached an inflection point to balance our deployment of capital to fund growth, while also returning capital to shareholders through a quarterly cash dividend at an initial aggregate amount of approximately $100 million per year beginning in 2023. Looking forward, we are well-positioned for continued growth and I would like to thank our team for their extraordinary efforts.”

    BofA Securities, Inc. served as FNF’s financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP served as FNF’s legal counsel in connection with the distribution transaction.
