William P. Foley, II, et al., C.A. No. 2020- 0650-KSJM (Del. Ch.) (the “Action”), which is pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) and asserts claims derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant FNF; (b) the proposed settlement of the Action (the “Settlement”), subject to Court approval and other conditions of the Settlement being satisfied, as provided for in a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement, and Release, dated April 1, 2022 (the “Stipulation”), which was filed with the Court and is publicly available for review at https://www.investor.fnf.com/; and (c) a hearing to be held before the Court on June 21, 2022, at 1:30 p.m., either in person at the Leonard L. Williams Justice Center, 500 North King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, or by remote proceeding (the “Settlement Hearing”).1 The purpose of the Settlement Hearing is to consider, among other things: (i) the proposed Settlement; (ii) the joint request of the Parties that the Court enter the Order and Final Judgment; (iii) Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Fee and Expense Application (as defined in Paragraph 58 below); and (iv) any objections to any of the foregoing. The Stipulation was entered into as of April 1, 2022, by and among (i) the Special Litigation Committee (the “SLC”) of the Board of Directors of FNF (the “Board”), acting for and on behalf of FNF; (ii) Plaintiff City of Miami General Employees’ and Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust (“Plaintiff”); (iii) Defendants William P. Foley, II (“Foley”), Douglas K. Ammerman (“Ammerman”), Thomas M. Hagerty (“Hagerty”), Daniel D. Lane (“Lane”), Richard N. Massey (“Massey”), Heather H. Murren (“Murren”), Raymond R. Quirk (“Quirk”), John D. Rood (“Rood”), Peter O. Shea, Jr. (“Shea”), and Cary H. Thompson (“Thompson,” and together with Foley, Ammerman, Hagerty, Lane, Massey, Murren, Quirk, Rood, and Shea, the “Director Defendants”); (iv) Defendant Trasimene Capital Management, LLC (“Trasimene”); and (v) Defendant MVB Management, LLC (“MVB,” and together with the Director Defendants and Trasimene, the “Defendants”) (the SLC, Plaintiff, the Company, and Defendants, together, the “Parties”). A copy of the Stipulation, including Exhibits, is available at https://www.investor.fnf.com/ or by contacting counsel listed below. This Notice describes the rights you may have with respect to the Action and pursuant to the Stipulation and what steps you may take, but are not required to take, in relation to the Settlement. If the Court approves the proposed Settlement, the Parties will ask the Court at the Settlement Hearing to enter an Order and Final Judgment dismissing the Action with prejudice in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation. Also, if the Settlement is approved by the Court, FNF stockholders will be barred from contesting the fairness of the Settlement or pursuing the Plaintiff Released Claims (as defined below) against the Defendant Released Parties (as defined below). Because the Action was brought as a derivative action, which means that the Action was brought by Plaintiff on behalf of and for the benefit of FNF, the monetary payment to be made under the Settlement will go to the Company. Individual FNF stockholders will not receive any direct payment from the Settlement. PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS NO PROOF OF CLAIM FORM FOR STOCKHOLDERS TO SUBMIT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SETTLEMENT, AND STOCKHOLDERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE ANY ACTION IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE. 1 Certain of the capitalized terms used in this Notice are defined in Paragraphs 27-44 below.

THE FOLLOWING RECITATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE FINDINGS OF THE COURT AND SHOULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD AS AN EXPRESSION OF ANY OPINION OF THE COURT AS TO THE MERITS OF ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES BY ANY OF THE PARTIES. IT IS BASED ON STATEMENTS OF THE PARTIES AND IS SENT FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF INFORMING YOU OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE DERIVATIVE ACTION AND OF A HEARING ON A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT SO THAT YOU MAY MAKE APPROPRIATE DECISIONS AS TO STEPS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WISH TO TAKE IN RELATION TO THIS LITIGATION. 4. In or about September 2019, the Board began considering a potential transaction pursuant to which FNF would acquire the shares of FGL Holdings, Inc. (“FGL”) not already owned by FNF (the “Transaction”). 5. On October 11, 2019, the Board appointed a special committee consisting of Ammerman, Hagerty, Lane, Murren, Quirk, Rood, and Shea to consider the Transaction (the “Special Committee”). 6. The Special Committee retained Trasimene and BofA Securities, Inc. (“BAML”) as its financial advisors in connection with the Transaction. 7. The Special Committee met with its advisors on six occasions to discuss and approve, among other things, an initial price range and ongoing price negotiations, due diligence, principal terms of the Merger Agreement (defined below), and other matters concerning the Transaction. 8. On February 6, 2020, BAML rendered a fairness opinion to the Special Committee, stating, among other things, that the terms of the Transaction, pursuant to which FNF would acquire the shares of FGL not already owned by FNF for $12.50 per share in cash or 0.2558 shares of FNF common stock, subject to certain allocation and proration provisions in the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”), were fair from a financial point of view to FNF.
![slide4](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001331875-22-000027/ex992004.jpg)
4 9. Based upon discussions with its advisors, including receipt of the BAML fairness opinion, the Special Committee unanimously approved the Transaction, and FNF and FGL entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 7, 2020 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), with respect to the Transaction. 10. On April 17, 2020, Plaintiff made a books-and-records demand on FNF pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking, among other things, Board and Special Committee documents concerning the Transaction, and FNF provided certain documents to Plaintiff in response to the demand. 11. On May 29, 2020, FGL stockholders voted to approve the Transaction. 12. On June 1, 2020, the Transaction closed. 13. On August 4, 2020, Plaintiff filed the verified stockholder derivative complaint (the “Complaint”) in this Action, asserting four counts, all pleaded as derivative claims: (1) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against Foley, Massey, and Thompson; (2) a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the members of the Special Committee (Ammerman, Hagerty, Lane, Murren, Quirk, Rood, and Shea); (3) a claim for aiding and abetting against Trasimene and MVB; and (4) a claim for unjust enrichment against Trasimene and MVB. 14. On October 27, 2020, the Board appointed non-party Sandra Morgan (“Morgan”) to serve as an independent director of FNF. 15. On October 27, 2020, the Board approved a resolution establishing the SLC, consisting initially of Morgan and Murren, with Morgan acting as Chair of the SLC. 16. The SLC retained Potter Anderson & Corroon LLP as its independent legal advisor and Charles River Associates, Inc. (“CRA”) as its independent financial advisor. 17. In December 2020, the Court granted the SLC’s request to stay this Action pending the SLC’s investigation. 18. On May 6, 2021, the Board appointed non-party Justice Halim Dhanidina (Ret.) (“Dhanidina”) to serve as an independent director of FNF and also appointed him to serve as a third member of the SLC. 19. The SLC, with the assistance of its advisors, engaged in an extensive evaluation and investigation of the derivative claims asserted in the Action, which included: (i) the collection and review of documents from (a) the Director Defendants, (b) Trasimene, (c) MVB; and (d) BAML; (ii) interviews of 13 witnesses (with SLC members attending and participating in each and with some witnesses having multiple interviews); (iii) expert economic analysis of certain claims by CRA; and (iv) legal analysis of the derivative claims by the SLC’s counsel, who met with Plaintiff’s Counsel and Defendants’ counsel to obtain their views concerning such claims. 20. The SLC evaluation also took account of various prudential considerations, including the value of the settlement terms relative to what could be achieved through further litigation and the costs (financial and otherwise) of litigation. 21. The SLC, for and on behalf of FNF, and with the full power and authority delegated to it by the Board, initiated discussions with Defendants and Plaintiff to explore the prospects of settlement. 22. The SLC then consulted with Plaintiff’s Counsel and Defendants’ counsel regarding the status of the SLC’s investigation and the possibility of settlement. 23. On January 24, 2022, the Parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Action and executed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) setting forth the terms and conditions of such
![slide5](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001331875-22-000027/ex992005.jpg)
5 settlement subject to the execution of a customary “long form” stipulation and agreement of settlement and related papers. 24. After additional negotiations regarding the specific terms of their agreement, the Parties entered into the Stipulation on April 1, 2022. The Stipulation (together with the exhibits thereto) reflects the final and binding agreement between the Parties and supersedes the MOU. 25. On April 1, 2022, the Parties filed the Stipulation with the Court.

The Settlement set forth in the Stipulation reflects the results of the Parties’ negotiations and the final terms of their agreement, which was reached only after arm’s-length negotiations among the Parties, who were all represented by counsel with extensive experience and expertise in derivative litigation. 49. Plaintiff’s involvement in the negotiations preceding the Settlement was a factor in achieving the benefits received by FNF as a result of the Settlement. 50. Plaintiff brought the Action in good faith and continues to believe that its claims have legal merit, and the entry by Plaintiff into the Stipulation and Settlement is not an admission as to a lack of any merit of any claims asserted or that could be asserted in the Action. 51. On the basis of the information available to Plaintiff, including publicly available information, its counsel’s investigation, and certain non-public materials, Plaintiff took into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of Plaintiff’s claims and determined that the terms of the Stipulation and the Settlement are fair, reasonable, and adequate, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and Plaintiff believes that it is reasonable to seek approval of the Stipulation and the Settlement by the Court based upon the terms outlined in the Stipulation and the substantial benefits and protections to be provided to the Company and its stockholders thereby. 52. Each of the Defendants denies all allegations of wrongdoing or liability on his, her, or its respective part, and specifically maintains that he, she, or it has not committed any violation of law or breaches of fiduciary duty or engaged in any wrongdoing whatsoever, but solely to avoid the costs, disruption, and distraction of further litigation, and without admitting the validity of any allegations made in the Action, or any liability with respect thereto, has concluded that it is desirable that the claims against him, her, or it be settled and dismissed on the terms reflected in the Stipulation and the Settlement. 53. The SLC and its counsel have taken into consideration the strengths and weaknesses of the Company’s claims, the strengths and weaknesses of certain other potential claims identified by the SLC in the course of its investigation, and other factors determined to be relevant by the SLC, including the costs, disruption, and distraction of further litigation, and the SLC has determined that the Stipulation and the Settlement are fair, reasonable, adequate, and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and confer a substantial benefit upon the Company and its stockholders.

9 WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED? WHAT CLAIMS WILL THE SETTLEMENT RELEASE? 54. If the Settlement is approved, the Court will enter the Order and Final Judgment approving the Settlement in accordance with the Stipulation, at which time the Action will be dismissed with prejudice on the merits. 55. Pursuant to the Stipulation, and in consideration of the benefits provided by the Settlement, the Order and Final Judgment is proposed to, among other things, provide for the full and complete dismissal of the Action with prejudice, including as against all Defendants on the merits without fees, costs, or expenses (except as provided in the Stipulation) and provide for the following releases: a. As of the Effective Date, Plaintiff and the SLC (on behalf of FNF), individually and collectively, shall and by the Order and Final Judgment do completely, fully, finally, and forever release, relinquish, settle, and discharge the Defendant Released Parties from and with respect to any and all of the Plaintiff Released Claims (including Unknown Claims), and will be forever barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, or prosecuting any action or proceeding, in any forum, asserting any of the Plaintiff Released Claims against any of the Defendant Released Parties. b. As of the Effective Date, Defendants, individually and collectively, shall and by the Order and Final Judgment do completely, fully, finally, and forever release, relinquish, and discharge the Plaintiff Released Parties and the SLC Released Parties from and with respect to any and all Defendant Released Claims (including Unknown Claims), and will be forever barred and enjoined from commencing, instituting, or prosecuting any action or proceeding, in any forum, asserting any of the Defendant Released Claims against any of the Plaintiff Released Parties or the SLC Released Parties. c. As of the Effective Date, the Parties shall be finally and forever bound by the Settlement and the Order and Final Judgment. The Order and Final Judgment, including, without limitation, the Releases set described in Paragraphs (a)-(b) above, shall have res judicata, collateral estoppel, and all other preclusive effects in all pending and future lawsuits, arbitrations, or other suits, actions, or proceedings involving any of the Released Parties. 56. By Order of the Court, all proceedings in the Action, other than such proceedings as may be necessary to carry out the terms and conditions of the Settlement, have been stayed and suspended until further order of the Court. Also, pending a final determination of whether the Settlement should be approved, the Court has barred and enjoined Plaintiff, Defendants, the SLC (on behalf of FNF), FNF’s stockholders, and any of them, from commencing, prosecuting, instigating, or in any way participating in the commencement or prosecution of any suit, action, or proceeding asserting any Plaintiff Released Claims against any Defendant Released Parties. HOW WILL THE ATTORNEYS BE PAID? 57. Concurrent with seeking final approval of the Settlement, Plaintiff’s Counsel intend to petition the Court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, in full satisfaction of any claim by Plaintiff or Plaintiff’s Counsel for an award of fees and expenses in respect of Plaintiff’s and Plaintiff’s Counsel’s efforts in filing this Action and the benefits conferred on FNF and FNF’s stockholders from the prosecution of the Action and the Settlement (the “Fee and Expense Application”). After all of the substantive terms of the Settlement were agreed upon, Plaintiff’s Counsel engaged in arm’s-length negotiations with counsel for the SLC (on behalf of FNF) and counsel for Defendants concerning an appropriate award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses for Plaintiff’s Counsel based upon Plaintiff’s
![slide10](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001331875-22-000027/ex992010.jpg)
10 and Plaintiff’s Counsel efforts in filing this Action and the benefits conferred on FNF and FNF’s stockholders from the prosecution of the Action and the Settlement. As a result of those negotiations, it has been agreed that the Fee and Expense Application will be for an amount no greater than four million four hundred thousand dollars and no cents ($4,400,000.00) (United States Dollars). 58. Any award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to Plaintiff’s Counsel that is approved by the Court in connection with the Settlement (the “Fee and Expense Award”) shall be paid solely out of the Monetary Settlement Amount, and not in addition to the Monetary Settlement Amount. FNF stockholders are not personally liable for the payment of any Fee and Expense Award. 59. The award of any Fee and Expense Award by the Court is not a precondition to the Settlement, the Releases provided under the Stipulation, or the dismissal of the Action with prejudice. The Court may consider and rule upon the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the Settlement independently of any Fee and Expense Application and/or Fee and Expense Award. Any disapproval or modification of any Fee and Expense Application and/or any Fee and Expense Award by the Court or on appeal shall not affect or delay the enforceability of the Stipulation or the Settlement, provide any of the Parties with the right to terminate the Settlement, impose any obligation on Defendants, the SLC (on behalf of FNF), or FNF, or subject Defendants in any way to an increase in the amount paid by them or on their behalf in connection with the Settlement, or affect or delay the binding effect or finality of the Order and Final Judgment or the Releases. WHEN AND WHERE WILL THE SETTLEMENT HEARING BE HELD? DO I HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPEAR AT THE SETTLEMENT HEARING? 60. You do not need to attend the Settlement Hearing. The Court will consider any submission made in accordance with the provisions below even if you do not attend the Settlement Hearing. 61. The Court will consider the Settlement and all matters related to the Settlement, including the Fee and Expense Application, at the Settlement Hearing. The Settlement Hearing will be held before the Delaware Court of Chancery on June 21, 2022 at 1:30 p.m., either in person at the Court of Chancery, Leonard L. Williams Justice Center, 500 North King Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, or by telephone or video conference (in the discretion of the Court). Please Note: The date and time of the Settlement Hearing may change without further written notice. In addition, the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency is a fluid situation that creates the possibility that the Court may decide to conduct the Settlement Hearing by telephonic or video conference, or otherwise allow Current FNF Stockholders to appear at the Settlement Hearing by phone or video, without further written notice to Current FNF Stockholders. In order to determine whether the date and time of the Settlement Hearing have changed, or whether Current FNF Stockholders must or may participate by phone or video, it is important that you monitor the Court’s docket or https://www.investor.fnf.com/ before making any plans to attend the Settlement Hearing. Any updates regarding the Settlement Hearing, including any changes to the date or time of the Settlement Hearing or updates regarding in-person or telephonic appearances at the Settlement Hearing, will be filed on the Court’s docket and at https://www.investor.fnf.com/. Also, if the Court requires or allows Current FNF Stockholders to participate in the Settlement Hearing by telephone or video conference, the information needed to access the conference will be available through the Court’s docket and at https://www.investor.fnf.com/. 62. At the Settlement Hearing, any Current FNF Stockholder who continues to own FNF common stock through the date of the Settlement Hearing may appear personally or by counsel, and show cause, if any: (a) why the Settlement in accordance with and as set forth in the Stipulation should not be approved as fair, reasonable, and adequate and in the best interests of FNF; (b) why the Order and Final Judgment should not be entered in accordance with and as set forth in the Stipulation; or (c) why the Court
