Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. Announces Settlement with New York Attorney General

Jacksonville, Fla. -- (May 23, 2006) -- Fidelity National Title Group, Inc. (NYSE: FNT), one of the nation's largest title insurance companies and a majority-owned, publicly traded subsidiary of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), today announced that it has reached a settlement with the office of the Attorney General of the state of New York, ending nearly two years of industry-wide scrutiny.

FNT has agreed to a rate reduction of 15 percent on all purchase transactions in New York involving liability levels up to $1 million. Additionally, the New York State Insurance Department will hold an industry-wide rate hearing before the end of 2006 to determine future title insurance premium rates, which could result in a future increase, reduction or no change in title insurance premiums in the state of New York. Finally, FNT agreed to a $2 million penalty that ends the investigation of the New York Attorney General.

"We are pleased that the New York Attorney General found no pattern or practice of any wrongdoing on the part of our company," said Peter T. Sadowski, FNT Executive Vice President and FNF General Counsel. "This lengthy investigation is now behind us. Measured against hundreds of thousands of transactions, the Attorney General's investigators identified only isolated errors or questionable industry practices. We cooperated fully with the Attorney General's office and are pleased with the satisfactory resolution of the investigation."
