Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. Announces Filing of Amended Prospectus and Consent Solicitation Statement

Jacksonville, Fla. -- (January 9, 2006) – Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (NYSE: FNT), the nation's largest title insurance company and a majority-owned, publicly traded subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF), today announced that it has filed an amended prospectus and consent solicitation statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for its previously announced exchange offers for outstanding notes of FNF. This amended prospectus reflects the changes in the terms of the offers announced January 6, 2006. FNT has also filed a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC that includes as an exhibit a form of supplemental indenture to the indenture under which the notes to be issued by FNT in the exchange offers will be issued. This supplemental indenture sets forth the previously announced changes in covenants and events of default for the FNT notes. Also included as exhibits are revised forms of the new notes, the letter of transmittal and the supplemental indenture to the indenture under which the outstanding FNF notes were issued with respect to the previously announced change in the terms of the concurrent consent solicitations. The exchange offers are extended to midnight New York City time on Friday, January 13, 2006. Noteholders whose notes have already been validly tendered need take no further action to participate in the exchange offers.

As previously announced, FNT has waived the condition to the exchange offers that consents be obtained from a majority of the outstanding principal amount of each series of notes. As such, subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions to the exchange offers, FNF will accept for exchange any and all FNF notes validly tendered.

This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities, nor shall there be any sale or purchase of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. The exchange offers are made solely by the prospectus and consent solicitation statement and the related letter of transmittal and consent, and are subject to the conditions set forth therein.
