Unaudited Attributed Financial Information for Fidelity National Financial Group Tracking Stock
The following tables present our assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows that are attributed to our FNF core business, known as FNF Group (“we,” or “our,”). The financial information in this Exhibit should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FNF Group is comprised of three operating segments as follows:
Title
This segment consists of the operations of our title insurance underwriters and related businesses. This segment provides core title insurance and escrow and other title-related services including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances, and home warranty products. This segment also includes our transaction services business, which includes other title-related services used in the production and management of mortgage loans, including mortgage loans that experience default.
FNF Group Corporate and Other
This segment consists of the operations of the parent holding company, certain other unallocated corporate overhead expenses, and other real estate operations.
We have adopted certain expense allocation policies, each of which are reflected in the attributed financial information of the FNF Group and the FNFV Group (see Exhibit 99.2). In general, corporate overhead is allocated to each group based upon the use of services by that group where practicable. Corporate overhead primarily includes costs of personnel and employee benefits, legal, accounting and auditing, insurance, investor relations and stockholder services and services related to FNF’s board of directors. We allocate in a similar manner a portion of costs of administrative shared services, such as information technology services. Where determinations based on use alone are not practical, we use other methods and criteria that we believe are equitable and that provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to each group.
Notwithstanding the following attribution of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows to FNF Group, Fidelity National Financial, Inc.'s ("FNF, Inc.") tracking stock structure does not affect the ownership or the respective legal title to FNF Inc.'s assets or responsibility for FNF, Inc.'s liabilities. FNF, Inc. and its subsidiaries are each responsible for their respective liabilities. Holders of FNF Group common stock are subject to risks associated with an investment in FNF, Inc. and all of its businesses, assets and liabilities. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Ownership of Our FNFV Group Common Stock due to our Tracking Stock Capitalization" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further discussion of risks associated with our tracking stock structure.

Note A. Basis of Presentation
Description of the Business
FNF Group is a leading provider of (i) title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances and home warranty products and (ii) technology and transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. FNF Group is the nation’s largest title insurance company operating through its title insurance underwriters - Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, Alamo Title Insurance and National Title Insurance of New York Inc. - which collectively issue more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. Through our subsidiary ServiceLink Holdings, LLC ("ServiceLink"), we provide mortgage transaction services including title-related services and facilitation of production and management of mortgage loans.
Recent Developments
On September 29, 2017, we completed our previously announced tax-free distribution, to FNF Group shareholders, of all 83.3 million shares of New BKH Corp. ("New BKH") common stock that we previously owned (the “BK Distribution”). Immediately following the BK Distribution, New BKH and Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. ("Black Knight") engaged in a series of transactions resulting in the formation of a new publicly-traded holding company, Black Knight, Inc. ("New Black Knight"). Holders of FNF Group common stock received approximately 0.30663 shares of New Black Knight common stock for every one share of FNF Group common stock held at the close of business on September 20, 2017, the record date for the BK Distribution. New Black Knight's common stock is now listed under the symbol “BKI” on the New York Stock Exchange. The BK Distribution is expected to generally be tax-free to FNF Group shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of New Black Knight's fractional shares. As a result of the BK Distribution, we have reclassified the assets and liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016. Further, the financial results of Black Knight have been reclassified to discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note K. Discontinued Operations for further details of the results of Black Knight.
On August 31, 2017, FNF Group completed its acquisition of 90% of the membership interests of Title Guaranty of Hawaii ("Title Guaranty") for $98 million. Title Guaranty was previously an unaffiliated agent and will continue to be closely aligned with Chicago Title as it formally becomes part of the FNF title company family. Founded in 1896, Title Guaranty is the oldest title company in the State of Hawaii and is a leading provider of title and escrow services, with more than 300 employees in branches across the State of Hawaii providing title insurance and real estate closing services. See Note J Acquisitions for further discussion.
On May 24, 2017, we entered into certain equity commitment letters (the “Equity Commitment Letters”) with CF Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“CFCOU”), relating to its plan of merger (the "Merger" or “Merger Agreement”), dated May 24, 2017, among CFCOU, Fidelity & Guaranty Life, a Delaware corporation (“FGL”), and the other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letters, the Company has committed (the "FNF Commitment"), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the closing under the Merger Agreement, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, equity of CFCOU for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to $235 million plus up to an aggregate of $195 million to offset any redemptions of CFCOU’s ordinary shares made in connection with its shareholder vote to approve the transaction. The cash purchase price of $235 million includes: (i) $135 million of ordinary shares of CFCOU for $10.00 per share, and (ii) $100 million of preferred shares, plus additional amounts, if any, pursuant to the Company’s commitment to offset a portion of the redemptions of CFCOU’s ordinary shares, if any, and warrants. The shareholder vote was held on August 8, 2017 and the Merger was unanimously approved. No shareholders elected to have their public shares redeemed in connection with the Merger. Additionally, the Company has committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the Closing, to purchase, or cause the purchase of, equity of CFCOU for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate amount, if any, not funded by one or more purchasers under the forward purchase agreements between CFCOU, CF Capital Growth, LLC and the counterparties thereto, up to an aggregate amount of $200 million.
As consideration for the FNF Commitment and the agreements of the Company under the Equity Commitment Letters, the Company also entered into a fee letter agreement with CFCOU, dated May 24, 2017, pursuant to which CFCOU has agreed to pay to the Company the following fees at the closing of the Merger: (i) the original issue discount of $2 million in respect of the preferred shares; (ii) a commitment fee of $3 million; (iii) penny warrants convertible, in the aggregate, for 1.2% of CFCOU’s ordinary shares (on a fully diluted basis); and (iv) if, and to the extent, any amount of the preferred equity under the Company’s backstop commitment is funded (the “Backstop Equity”), (x) a funding fee of 0.5% of the amount of the Backstop Equity that is funded, and (y) penny warrants attached to the Backstop Equity that are convertible, in the aggregate, for the result of (1) the
proportion of the Backstop Equity that is funded, and (2) 1.5% of CFCOU’s ordinary shares. The Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. In addition to the Equity Commitment Letters and FNF Commitment, the Company holds $37 million of equity securities of CFCOU as of September 30, 2017. The Company’s non-executive Chairman, William P. Foley, II, is also the Co-Executive Chairman of CF Corporation.
On May 22, 2017, FNF Group completed its acquisition of Hudson & Marshall, LLC. ("H&M"), a full-service auction company and one of the nation's top real estate and property auction providers, for $53 million. FNF and H&M expect to partner to further enhance the services FNF can provide to its lender, servicer and real estate agent relationships. Additionally, H&M will be powering ServiceLink Auction, a new, results-driven, full-service auction platform that will be fully integrated with ServiceLink's suite of products and technologies.
On May 3, 2017, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution to increase the size of our Board of Directors to thirteen and elected Heather H. Murren to serve on our Board of Directors. Ms. Murren will serve in Class I of our Board of Directors, and her term will expire at the annual meeting of our shareholders to be held in 2018. At this time, Ms. Murren has not been appointed to any committee of our Board.
In the first quarter of 2017 regulatory approval was received for three of the Company’s title insurance underwriters, Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company, to redomesticate from their existing states of domicile to Florida (the "Redomestication") effective March 1, 2017. In conjunction with the Redomestication, the Company received a special dividend from these title insurance underwriters of $280 million on March 15, 2017.
Earnings Per Share
Included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share are convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) issued on August 2, 2011 by Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Under the terms of the indenture, if converted, a portion of the settlement may include shares of FNFV common stock. As the debt is the obligation of FNF Group, if FNF were to settle a portion of the Notes with FNFV common stock, FNF Group would reimburse FNFV Group for the shares issued upon settlement.
