The annual meeting will be held virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FNF2022.

It is anticipated that such proxy, together with this proxy statement, will first be mailed on or about May 6, 2022 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204, and its telephone number at that address is (904) 854-8100.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement includes forward-looking statements. These statements are not historical facts, but instead represent only our beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. Forward-looking statements include statements about our business and future performance. These statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect our future results and financial condition, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are 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) transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. FNF is one of the nation’s largest title insurance companies 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.

We are also a leading provider of insurance solutions serving retail annuity and life customers and institutional clients through our wholly-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life (F&G). For more than 60 years, F&G has helped middle-income Americans prepare for retirement and for their loved ones’ financial security. We partner with leading independent marketing organizations and their agents to serve the needs of the middle-income market and develop competitive products to align with their evolving needs. As of December 31, 2021, F&G has approximately 576,000 policyholders who count on the safety and protection features our fixed annuity and life insurance products provide.

On March 14, 2022, our board of directors approved a dividend to our shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of 15% of the common stock of F&G. FNF will retain control of F&G through an 85% ownership stake and remains committed to its growth and long-term success. We believe that the public listing

of F&G shares through a dividend to FNF shareholders will unlock the value of both industry leading businesses. The separation is intended to be structured as a taxable dividend to FNF shareholders and is targeted to be completed in the third quarter of 2022.

FNF has a long history of delivering consistent, industry-leading operating results and investment returns to our shareholders. FNF continued to outperform the industry in 2021 as we generated $15.9 billion of total revenue (excluding $253 million of noncash, valuation losses on investment securities) and $2.4 billion of net earnings from continuing operations, driven by strong mortgage origination activity as well as F&G’s sales boosting asset growth.

Our consistent operating results have translated to strong returns for our shareholders. This includes a return of approximately $1.2 billion during this three-year period to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends during the three-year period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING

Your shares can be voted at the virtual annual meeting only if you vote by proxy or if you are present and vote at the meeting. Even if you expect to attend the virtual annual meeting, please vote by proxy to assure that your shares will be represented.

WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS PROXY STATEMENT?

The board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the virtual annual meeting because you were a holder of our common stock at the close of business on April 18, 2022, which we refer to as the record date, and therefore you are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. This proxy statement contains information about the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, and the voting process, as well as information about the Company’s directors and executive officers.

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

All record holders of our common stock as of the close of business on April 18, 2022 are entitled to vote. As of the close of business on that day, 280,700,591 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and eligible to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the virtual annual meeting.

If you hold your shares of FNF common stock through a broker, bank or other holder of record, you are considered a “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction form included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone.

WHAT SHARES ARE COVERED BY THE PROXY CARD?

The proxy card covers all shares of FNF common stock held by you of record (i.e., shares registered in your name) and any shares of FNF common stock held for your benefit in our 401(k) plan.

HOW DO I VOTE?

You may vote using any of the following methods:

At the virtual annual meeting. All shareholders may vote at the virtual annual meeting. Please see “How do I access the virtual annual meeting? Who may attend?” for additional information on how to vote at the annual meeting.

By proxy. There are three ways to vote by proxy:

Even if you expect to attend the annual meeting virtually, please vote by proxy to assure that your shares will be represented.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO VOTE BY PROXY?

It means that you give someone else the right to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. In this case, we are asking you to give your proxy to our Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Secretary and Assistant Corporate Secretary, who are sometimes referred to as the “proxy holders.” By giving your proxy to the proxy holders, you assure that your vote will be counted even if you are unable to attend the annual meeting. If you give your proxy but do not include specific instructions on how to vote on a particular proposal described in this proxy statement, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendation of the board for such proposal.

ON WHAT AM I VOTING?

You will be asked to consider four proposals at the annual meeting.

HOW DOES THE BOARD RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE ON THESE PROPOSALS?

The board recommends that you vote “FOR ALL” director nominees in Proposal 1, and “FOR” Proposals 2, 3 and 4.

WHAT HAPPENS IF OTHER MATTERS ARE RAISED AT THE MEETING?

Although we are not aware of any matters to be presented at the virtual annual meeting other than those contained in the Notice of Annual Meeting, if other matters are properly raised at the virtual annual meeting in accordance with the procedures specified in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or applicable law, all proxies given to the proxy holders will be voted in accordance with their best judgment.

WHAT IF I SUBMIT A PROXY AND LATER CHANGE MY MIND?

If you have submitted your proxy and later wish to revoke it, you may do so by doing one of the following: giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary prior to the virtual annual meeting; submitting another proxy bearing a later date (in any of the permitted forms) prior to the virtual annual meeting; or casting a ballot at the virtual annual meeting.

WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?

Broadridge Investor Communications Services will serve as proxy tabulator and count the votes, and the results will be certified by the inspector of election.

HOW MANY VOTES MUST EACH PROPOSAL RECEIVE TO BE ADOPTED?

The following votes must be received:

WHAT CONSTITUTES A QUORUM?

A quorum is present if a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock issued and entitled to vote at the annual meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum of each class is present.

WHAT ARE BROKER NON-VOTES? IF I DO NOT VOTE, WILL MY BROKER VOTE FOR ME?

Broker non-votes occur when nominees, such as banks and brokers holding shares on behalf of beneficial owners, do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners at least ten days before the meeting. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares only on matters deemed “routine” by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the rules promulgated by the New York Stock Exchange thereunder.

The Company believes that all the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, except for Proposal No. 4 regarding the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, are not “routine” matters. On non-routine matters, such as Proposals No. 1, 2 and 3, nominees cannot vote unless they receive voting instructions from beneficial owners. Please be sure to give specific voting instructions to your nominee so that your vote can be counted.

WHAT EFFECT DOES AN ABSTENTION HAVE?

With respect to Proposal No. 1, abstentions or directions to withhold authority will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote. With respect to each of Proposals No. 2, 3 and 4, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against the proposals.

WHO PAYS THE COST OF SOLICITING PROXIES?

We pay the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including preparing and mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement and the proxy card. Following the mailing of this proxy statement, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile transmission or other personal contact. Such persons will receive no additional compensation for such services. Brokerage houses and other nominees, fiduciaries and custodians who are holders of record of shares of our common stock will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of such shares and will be reimbursed by the Company for their charges and expenses in connection therewith at customary and reasonable rates. In addition, the Company has retained Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $10,000 plus reimbursement of expenses.

WHAT IF I SHARE A HOUSEHOLD WITH ANOTHER SHAREHOLDER?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, called “householding.” Under this procedure, FNF shareholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our Annual Report and Proxy Statement unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive

separate proxy cards. Also, householding will not in any way affect dividend check mailings. If you are a shareholder who resides in the same household with another shareholder, or if you hold more than one account registered in your name at the same address, and wish to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report or notice of internet availability of proxy materials for each account, please contact, Broadridge, toll free at 1-866-540-7095. You may also write to Broadridge, Householding Department, at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Beneficial shareholders can request information about householding from their banks, brokers or other holders of record. We hereby undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Annual Report to Shareholders, or this Proxy Statement, as applicable, to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered.

WHY DID I RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING THE INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF THE PROXY MATERIALS INSTEAD OF A PAPER COPY OF THE PROXY MATERIALS?

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we have elected to furnish to our shareholders this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K by providing access to these documents on the Internet rather than mailing printed copies. Accordingly, the Notice of Internet Availability is being mailed to our shareholders of record and beneficial owners (other than those who previously requested printed copies or electronic delivery of our proxy materials), which will direct shareholders to a website where they can access our proxy materials and view instructions on how to vote online or by telephone. If you would prefer to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability. Our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 are available for shareholders at www.proxyvote.com. Instead of receiving future copies of our Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K to shareholders by mail, shareholders can access these materials online. Opting to receive your proxy materials online will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to you; an electronic link to the proxy voting site will be provided to you. Shareholders of record can enroll at www.proxyvote.com for online access to future proxy materials. If you hold your shares in a bank or brokerage account, you also may have the opportunity to receive copies of these documents electronically. Please check the information provided in the proxy materials mailed to you by your bank or broker regarding the availability of this service.

HOW DO I ACCESS THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING? WHO MAY ATTEND?

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE HIGHLIGHTS

Our board is focused on good governance practices, which promote the long-term interests of our shareholders and support accountability of our board of directors and management. Our board of directors has implemented the following measures to improve our overall governance practices. See “Corporate Governance and Related Matters” for more detail on FNF’s governance practices.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

Our corporate governance guidelines provide, along with the charters of the committees of the board of directors, a framework for the functioning of the board of directors and its committees and to establish a common set of expectations as to how the board of directors should perform

its functions. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of areas including the size and composition of the board, board membership criteria and director qualifications (including consideration of all aspects of diversity when considering new director nominees, including diversity of age, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation), director responsibilities, board agenda, roles of the Chairman of the board of directors, Chief Executive Officer and Lead Director, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management and management succession planning. These guidelines specifically provide that a majority of the members of the board of directors must be outside directors whom the board of directors has determined have no material relationship with us and whom otherwise meet the independence criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange. The board of directors reviews these guidelines and other aspects of our governance at least annually. The board reviewed our Corporate Governance Guidelines in February 2022 without significant change. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available for review on our website at www.investor.fnf.com.

CODES OF ETHICS

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer, and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to all our directors, officers and employees. The purpose of these codes is to: (i) promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of conflicts of interest; (ii) promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure; (iii) promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (iv) ensure the protection of our legitimate business interests, including corporate opportunities, assets and confidential information; and (v) deter wrongdoing. Our codes of ethics are designed to maintain our commitment to our longstanding standards for ethical business practices. Our reputation for integrity is one of our most important assets and each of our employees and directors is expected to contribute to the care and preservation of that asset. Under our codes of ethics, an amendment to or a waiver or modification of any ethics policy applicable to our directors or executive officers must be disclosed to the extent required under Securities and Exchange Commission and/or New York Stock Exchange rules. We intend to disclose any such amendment or waiver by posting it on our website at www.investor.fnf.com.

Copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available for review on our website at www.investor.fnf.com.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW

ESG OVERVIEW

FNF’s work to address Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues is foundational to our success and integral to who we are as a company. We recognize the importance of a sustainable future to FNF’s long-term growth, and our Company and board of directors are committed to addressing ESG issues to better serve our employees, business partners, and the communities impacted by our business operations.

Building a sustainable business starts with being transparent about our business practices, corporate governance, environmental impact, and our commitments to our stakeholders. Since we published our inaugural Sustainability Report in 2019, we have continued to enhance our ESG efforts, disclosing our progress through annual reporting and on our website. To learn more about our efforts, please view our most recent reports via our website, www.investor.fnf.com. We anticipate publishing our 2021 report in June 2022.

Our commitment to ESG focuses on:

Protecting Homeowners: The safety and security of our property owners is our top priority. This means ensuring rigorous information security through continuous enhancements to our cybersecurity and data protection standards, internal auditing protocols and consistent monitoring, to protect the safety of customer funds and nonpublic personal information. We work hard to educate our employees and protect consumers from fraud by enhancing our fraud prevention programs.

Preserving the Environment: FNF works to integrate environmental management practices into our operations, including our facilities. We have a number of efforts underway to reduce our environmental footprint across our locations. As part of a traditionally paper-intensive industry, we have implemented customer-focused technology to significantly reduce paper consumption in real estate transactions, moving the title insurance industry in a more sustainable paper-less direction. Our efforts also include participating in recycling programs and eliminating the use of plastic water bottles. Beyond our mitigation efforts, we understand our responsibility to protect the local environments in which we operate. In 2021, through our Enterprise Risk Management systems, we conducted our first climate risk assessment to understand and identify climate-related risks and opportunities that may impact our business. We are evaluating this information to develop strategies and manage those risks and opportunities over time.

Supporting Our Employees and Communities: As our greatest asset, we are committed to providing our employees with opportunities to expand their knowledge base and develop skills for career advancement. We are committed to operating an inclusive workplace, and we strongly believe that the diversity of our clients should be reflected among our employees. With over 1,300 locations throughout the United States and Canada, and over 28,000 employees, we are positioned to make a difference within the communities in which we operate. Through local community involvement, corporate initiatives, and philanthropic giving – as well as an active community volunteer ethos – we work hard to support the communities where we live and operate.

Operating Ethically: Our reputation for integrity is vital to our culture and business operations. We operate in ways that are fair, transparent, and compliant. We implement strong governance practices, policies, training, and reporting avenues to promote business integrity.

KEY 2021 ESG ACCOMPLISHMENTS

BOARD AND ESG OVERSIGHT

FNF is committed to strong governance systems and policies that ensure fair, transparent and efficient business practices. To honor that commitment, our management team leads our ESG efforts with oversight from the Audit Committee, which reports our ESG progress and efforts to the Board of Directors.

ESG DUE DILIGENCE

ESG is embedded across FNF’s approach to mergers and acquisitions. In order to maximize the value of each of our diverse assets, our management team takes a holistic approach and reviews ESG practices that are material to a potential investment. We believe that managing ESG issues in our mergers and acquisitions helps FNF generate stronger returns for our shareholders while improving our impact on the community.

ESG RISK MANAGEMENT

FNF recognizes ESG risks, including climate change and severe weather conditions, cybersecurity breaches, pandemic diseases, and other catastrophic events may impact our business. At FNF, we manage material risks, including ESG risks, through our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. Our ERM program identifies and conducts risk assessments on our material risks, including environmental risks. Our team works diligently to identify, assess, and manage risks. Our ERM program reviews proposed New Products and Services for possible climate impacts outside of current operations. In 2021, we conducted our first climate risk assessment to understand climate-related risks that may impact our business and integrated the mitigation of those risks into our ERM program.

Our ERM program is overseen by our Chief Risk Officer. Our Chief Risk Officer reports to the audit committee of our Board of Directors on a regular basis about our ERM and Business Continuity programs.

We maintain a dedicated Business Continuity Office (BCO) that is responsible for the implementation of the BCO program and reports to the Chief Risk Officer. Our BCO program is part of our ERM program and creates plans for our core products, processes, and services that include predetermined actions to be taken, resources to be used, and procedures to be followed before, during, and after a disaster.

FNF’s headquarters are in Jacksonville, Florida, an area at high risk of hurricane and flood damage. We have taken steps to harden our corporate offices in Jacksonville and have provided the majority of our employees with the tools they need to work from home.

DIVERSITY

We understand the importance of diversity to FNF’s success. We believe that the diversity of our employees, through the variety of their ideas, perspectives, and experiences, allows us to offer our customers meaningful and customized products and services. FNF considers inclusivity with respect to all aspects of our business operations; particularly with respect to hiring, compensation, and growth opportunity. We are committed to being an equal opportunity employer and enhancing diversity and inclusion efforts across our business.

FNF’s goal is to foster an inclusive workplace, where each employee receives equal access to opportunities throughout the organization. We prohibit employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, age, sex/gender, pregnancy, national origin or ancestry, citizenship status, veteran status, marital status, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression (including transgender status), genetic information and/or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state or local laws.

FNF’s corporate policies, such as its Code of Business Conduct & Ethics, Harassment, Discrimination, and Bullying Policy, Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance Policy, and Workplace Violation Prevention Policy, prohibit discrimination and harassment. Our Employee Handbook contains our Equal Employment Opportunity and other non-discrimination statements. Annually, employees must acknowledge our key corporate non-discrimination policies and complete trainings including: Code of Business Conduct and Ethics Training, and Reporting Harassment: Everyone’s Responsibility. FNF maintains an open-door culture that encourages both employee feedback and provides employees several channels through which to report potential violations.

We have many women in leadership roles throughout our organization. As of January 31, 2022, out of the 23,710 U.S.-based FNF employees, 71% are women and 29% are men. Two out of eleven board members are women, 40% percent of the members of FNF’s leadership team are women and 67% of FNF’s non-executive managers are women. Our annual Women in Leadership Program for female executives, managers, and future managers is designed to encourage and promote women into more active leadership roles within FNF.

Our board of directors leads by example in its commitment to diversity. In 2018, our board codified its commitment to diversity when selecting new director nominees by including in our Corporate Governance Guidelines a commitment to diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, and other demographics such as age, nationality, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. FNF’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and nominating future FNF board members. The Committee’s Charter requires it to consider the characteristics of directors and director nominees with the goal of maintaining a mix of skills, background, gender diversity, ethnic diversity, and tenure on the board to support and promote the Company’s strategic vision.

DATA PRIVACY AND CYBERSECURITY

FNF is highly dependent on information technology. We are focused on making strategic investments in information security to protect our clients and our information systems. Our investments include both capital expenditures and operating expenses for hardware, software, personnel and consulting services. As our primary solutions and services evolve, we apply a comprehensive approach to the mitigation of identified security risks. We have established policies, including those related to privacy, information security and cybersecurity, and we employ a broad and diversified set of risk monitoring and risk mitigation techniques.

Internal audits, external audits and self-assessments are conducted to assess the effectiveness and maturity of our Enterprise Risk Management and Information Security Program on a recurring basis. We maintain Miscellaneous Professional Liability insurance which provides coverage for cybersecurity incidents as part of our insurance program.

Our board has a strong focus on cybersecurity. Our approaches to cybersecurity and privacy are overseen by the audit committee. At each regular meeting of the audit committee of our board of directors, our Chief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Internal Auditor provide reports relating to existing and emerging risks, including, as appropriate, risk assessments, cyber and data security risks and any security incidents. Our audit committee chairman reports on these discussions to our board of directors on a quarterly basis. In addition, our audit committee chairman and one of our other audit committee members have attended third-party director education courses on cybersecurity and privacy issues and trends in recent years.

Our employees are one of our strongest assets in protecting our customers’ information and mitigating risk. We maintain comprehensive and tailored training programs that focus on applicable privacy, security, legal and regulatory requirements that provide ongoing enhancement of the security and risk culture at FNF. We continue to provide strong focus on all areas of cybersecurity including threat and vulnerability management, security monitoring, identity and access management, phishing awareness, risk oversight third-party risk management, disaster recovery and continuity management. Our employees participate in annual trainings including: Information Security Training, Records Management: Managing and Safeguarding Records Training and Understanding and Protecting Privacy Training.

THE BOARD

Our board is composed of William P. Foley, II (Chairman), Raymond R. Quirk (Executive Vice-Chairman), Douglas K. Ammerman, Halim Dhanidina, Thomas M. Hagerty, Daniel D. (Ron) Lane, Sandra D. Morgan, Heather H. Murren, John D. Rood, Peter O. Shea, Jr. and Cary H. Thompson.

Our board met six times in 2021. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and of the committees on which they served during 2021. Our non-management directors also met periodically in executive sessions without management, and our Lead Director presides over these executive sessions. We do not, as a general matter, require our board members to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, although each of our directors is invited to attend our 2022 annual meeting. During 2021, one of our board members attended the annual meeting of shareholders.

MAJORITY VOTING

Our board of directors implemented “majority voting” in uncontested director elections in February 2017. Pursuant to Section 3.1 of our bylaws, each director is elected by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present. However, if as of 10 days in advance of the date we file our proxy statement with the SEC the number of director nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected in such election (a contested election), the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

In an uncontested election of directors, any incumbent director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast will promptly tender his resignation to the board of directors. The board will decide, after considering the recommendation of the corporate governance and nominating committee, whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken.

The director nominee in question will not participate in the recommendation or decision-making process. We will publicly disclose an explanation by the board of its decision within 90 days after we publish the election results. If the board determines to accept a director’s resignation, or if a director nominee who is not an incumbent director is not elected, then the board, in its sole discretion, may fill any resulting vacancy in accordance with our bylaws.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

All of our directors are non-employees other than Mr. Quirk, who served as our Chief Executive Officer until February 1, 2022 when he assumed the role of Executive Vice-Chairman. During the first quarter of 2022, the board of directors determined that Douglas K. Ammerman, Halim Dhanidina, Daniel D. Lane, Sandra D. Morgan, Heather H. Murren, John D. Rood, Peter O. Shea, Jr. and Cary H. Thompson are independent under the criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The board of directors also determined that Messrs. Lane, Thompson and Ms. Murren meet the additional independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange for compensation committee members.

In determining independence, the board considered all relationships that might bear on our directors’ independence from FNF. The board determined that Raymond R. Quirk is not independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer and an employee of FNF. The board of directors also determined that William P. Foley, II is not independent because he is Senior Managing Director of Trasimene Capital Management, LLC (Trasimene) and we paid Trasimene a transaction fee of approximately $27.9 million in 2020 pursuant to a services agreement between us and Trasimene. For additional information concerning the Trasimene services agreement, see the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below. The board determined that Thomas M. Hagerty is not independent because Mr. Hagerty is a Managing Director of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (THL) and FNF paid THL approximately $90 million in connection with the purchase of THL’s minority interest in ServiceLink Holdings, LLC in July 2020.

In considering the independence of Douglas K. Ammerman, Sandra D. Morgan, Heather H. Murren, John D. Rood and Cary H. Thompson, the board of directors considered the following factors:

The board of directors determined that these relationships were not of a nature that would impair the independence of Mr. Ammerman, Ms. Murren, Mr. Rood or Mr. Thompson.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee. The charter of each standing committee is available on the Investor Info page of our website at www.fnf.com. Each committee reviews its charter annually. Shareholders also may obtain a copy of any of these charters by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth under “Available Information” below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE

The members of the corporate governance and nominating committee are Peter O. Shea, Jr. (Chair), Sandra D. Morgan and John D. Rood. Each of Messrs. Shea, Rood and Ms. Morgan was deemed to be independent by the board, as required by the New York Stock Exchange. The corporate governance and nominating committee met two times in 2021.

The primary functions of the corporate governance and nominating committee, as identified in its charter, are:

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The members of the audit committee are Douglas K. Ammerman (Chair), Heather H. Murren and John D. Rood. The board has determined that each of the audit committee members is financially literate and independent as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, and that each of Mr. Ammerman, Ms. Murren and Mr. Rood is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee met five times in 2021.

The primary functions of the audit committee include:

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The audit committee of the board of directors submits the following report on the performance of certain of its responsibilities for the year 2021:

The primary function of our audit committee is oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of our financial statements and related disclosures, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee also oversees ESG risk and is responsible for reporting to the board on FNF’s ESG initiatives. Our audit committee acts under a written charter, and we review the adequacy of our charter at least annually. Our audit committee is comprised of the three directors named below, each of whom has been determined by the board of directors to be independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange independence standards. In addition, our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Ammerman, Ms. Murren and Mr. Rood is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In performing our oversight function, we reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP, or EY, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Management and EY reported to us that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of FNF and its subsidiaries in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We also discussed with EY matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC.

We have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from EY required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and have discussed with EY their independence. In addition, we have considered whether EY’s provision of non-audit services to us is compatible with their independence.

Finally, we discussed with our internal auditors and EY the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We met with EY at each meeting. Management was present for some, but not all, of these discussions. These discussions included the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and that EY be appointed independent registered public accounting firm for FNF for 2022.

In carrying out our responsibilities, we look to management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements and for maintaining effective internal control. Management is also responsible for assessing and maintaining the effectiveness of internal control over the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing our annual financial statements and expressing an opinion as to whether the statements are fairly stated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The independent registered public accounting firm is also responsible for auditing our internal controls and expressing an opinion as to whether the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

The independent registered public accounting firm performs its responsibilities in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Our members are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing, and are not experts under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in either of those fields or in auditor independence.

The foregoing report is provided by the following independent directors, who constitute the committee:

For more information regarding the responsibilities of the compensation committee, please refer to the section of this proxy statement entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Executive and Director Compensation” above.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

We have separated the positions of CEO and Chairman of the board of directors in recognition of the differences between the two roles. As our non-executive Chairman of the board, Mr. Foley, while no longer an executive or involved in the day-to-day operation of FNF, continues to be the driving force behind the development and execution of our strategic direction. On February 1, 2022, Raymond R. Quirk assumed the role of Executive Vice Chairman of our board and Michael J. Nolan assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer. As Executive Vice-Chairman, Mr. Quirk continues to promote our real estate technology efforts, the expansion of our digital initiatives, and strategic investments in title insurance and technology related M&A activities. Mr. Nolan, who formerly served as our President, assumed the expanded responsibilities of CEO and leads all activities related to the growth and expansion of our title insurance related businesses and operations, overall financial performance, and investor relations.

Douglas K. Ammerman, one of our independent directors, serves as our Lead Director. The board considers it to be useful and appropriate to designate a Lead Director to coordinate the activities of the other non-employee directors and to perform such other duties and responsibilities as the board may determine. Our board has adopted a Charter of the Lead Independent Director that defines the responsibilities of the Lead Director, which include:

BOARD ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

The board of directors administers its risk oversight function directly and through committees. The audit committee oversees FNF’s financial reporting process, risk management program, including ESG risk, legal and regulatory compliance, performance of the independent auditor, internal audit function, and financial and disclosure controls. Management also reports quarterly to the audit committee and the board of directors regarding claims, and the audit committee receives quarterly reports on compliance matters. Our audit committee also oversees our environmental sustainability policies and programs.

Our board has a strong focus on cyber-security. At each regular meeting of the audit committee, our Chief Risk Officer, Chief Compliance Officer, Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Internal Audit Officer provide reports relating to our cyber and data security practices, risk assessments, emerging issues and any security incidents. Our audit committee chairman reports on these discussions to our board of directors on a quarterly basis. In addition, Mr. Rood has attended third-party director education courses on cyber-security and privacy issues and trends.

The corporate governance and nominating committee considers the adequacy of FNF’s governance structures and policies. The compensation committee reviews and approves FNF’s compensation and other benefit plans, policies and programs and considers whether any of those plans, policies or programs creates risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on FNF. Each committee provides reports on its activities to the full board of directors.

CONTACTING THE BOARD

Any shareholder or other interested person who desires to contact any member of the board or the non-management members of the board as a group may do so by writing to: Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, Fidelity National Financial, Inc., 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32204. Communications received are distributed by the Corporate Secretary to the appropriate member or members of the board.

CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DIRECTORS

DIRECTOR CRITERIA, QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE AND PROCESS FOR SELECTING DIRECTORS

FNF is a leading provider of title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, including trust activities, trustee sales guarantees, recordings and reconveyances and home warranty products, as well as transaction services to the real estate and mortgage industries. Title insurance revenue is closely related to the level of real estate activity which includes sales, mortgage financing and mortgage refinancing. The levels of real estate activity are primarily affected by the average price of real estate sales, the availability of funds to finance purchases and mortgage interest rates. The Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Mortgage Finance Forecast as of January 2022 predicts overall mortgage originations will decrease in 2022 and 2023 before slightly increasing in 2024, which is based upon its expectation that residential purchase transactions will steadily increase in 2022 and 2023 from 2021 levels before slightly decreasing in 2024, while residential refinance transactions steadily decrease in 2022 and 2023 from 2021 levels before increasing in 2024.

We continually monitor mortgage origination trends and believe that, based on our ability to produce industry-leading operating margins through all economic cycles, we are well-positioned to adjust our operations for adverse changes in real estate activity and to take advantage of increased volume when demand increases.

We are also a provider of annuity and life insurance products through our wholly-owned subsidiary F&G. F&G provides a diversification of our cash and income streams away from title insurance and is expected to provide predictable income that is counter-cyclical that performs best in a rising long-term interest rate environment through an attractive retirement insurance business with strong growth tailwinds as demand for retirement insurance products are propelled by an aging demographic.

In 2022, our board and management team will be focused on the organic growth of our core title operations while carefully managing expenses to address any changes in the mortgage industry and our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other macro-economic factors. The board and management team will also be focused on the successful execution of our previously announced dividend to our shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of 15% of the common stock of F&G and F&G’s transition to a publicly traded company.

Our board and the corporate governance and nominating committee is committed to including the best available candidates for nomination to election to our board based on merit. Our board and our corporate governance and nominating committee periodically evaluates our board’s composition with the goal of developing a board that meets our strategic goals, and one that includes diverse, experienced and highly qualified individuals.

The corporate governance and nominating committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications that nominees must meet for the committee to recommend them to the board, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account our needs and the overall composition of the board. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the corporate governance and nominating committee considers, among other things, the following criteria in fulfilling its duty to recommend nominees for election as directors:

Each year in connection with the nomination of candidates for election to the board, the corporate governance and nominating committee evaluates the background of each candidate, including candidates that may be submitted by shareholders.

COMPOSITION, TENURE, RECENT REFRESHMENT AND DIVERSITY

We believe that the current composition of our board has served us well and that our current directors possess relevant experience, skills and qualifications that contribute to a well-functioning board that effectively oversees our long-term strategy. As the need arises, we selectively add new board members who have important skill sets, experience or diversity of viewpoint. For example, in 2020, our board elected Sandra D. Morgan to serve as a director. Ms. Morgan brings to our board a strong legal and regulatory background as an attorney and former Chair of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. In 2021, we added the Honorable Halim Dhanidina, who has a strong legal background and understanding of the regulatory landscape and corporate governance. Both Ms. Morgan and Judge Dhanidina add to the diversity of our board. Our board is composed of mix of directors, some of whom have served on our board since our initial public offering and have a strong understanding of our business, operational and strategic goals, as well as our industry and the risks we face and others who have joined our board in more recent years and bring new skills, experience and perspectives to our board. Having directors with a longevity of service and deep understanding of our business has been critical to our ability to effectively execute on our long-term strategy, but we have recognized the importance of adding new highly talented directors to broaden the skills and experience of our board as a whole and add new and diverse viewpoints. In the last five years, we have added three diverse directors to our board.

Our corporate governance and nominating committee regularly examines ways that it can foster the diversity of our board across many dimensions to maintain its ability to operate at a high-functioning level and to reflect the board’s commitment to inclusiveness. In connection with this examination, the committee revised our Corporate Governance Guidelines to expressly include diversity of age, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation as a part of the criteria the committee may consider when selecting nominees for election to the board, all in the context of the needs of our board at any given point in time. Specifically, the corporate governance and nominating committee is focused on considering highly qualified women and individuals from minority groups as candidates for nomination as directors.

PROXY ACCESS

Our bylaws include a “proxy access” procedure for shareholder director nominations. Pursuant to Section 3.1 of our bylaws, a shareholder, or a group of up to 25 shareholders, may include in our proxy materials director nominees constituting up to two individuals or 20% of our board, whichever is greater, provided that:

The corporate governance and nominating committee considers qualified candidates suggested by current directors, management and our shareholders. A shareholder who wishes to suggest a qualified candidate for director to the corporate governance and nominating committee but does not meet the requirements described above may do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204. The submission must provide the information required by, and otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in, Section 3.1 of our bylaws. Section 3.1 also requires that the nomination notice be submitted by a prescribed time in advance of the meeting. See “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations” below.

FNF continued to outperform the industry in 2021 as we generated $15.9 billion of total revenue (excluding $253 million of noncash, valuation losses on investment securities) and $2.4 billion of net earnings from continuing operations, driven by strong mortgage origination activity as well as F&G’s sales boosting asset growth.

As reflected in the following charts, over the previous five years, we have delivered consistently strong revenue and earnings.

Our consistent operating results have translated to strong returns for our shareholders. During the three-year period, from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, we delivered a total return to our shareholders of approximately 79%, compared to a total return on the S&P 500 of approximately 97% during the same period. This includes a return of approximately $1.2 billion during this three-year period to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends. Total shareholder return is based on the overall appreciation of our common stock, plus any dividends paid by us, during the measurement period.

PAY FOR PERFORMANCE

Our compensation committee takes great care to develop and refine an executive compensation program that recognizes our stewardship responsibility to shareholders while our talent supports a culture of growth, innovation, and performance.

The primary goal of our executive compensation programs in 2021 was to drive continued growth and successful execution of our strategic business objectives. We believe our programs achieve this goal by:

As in past years, there was a direct correlation between our named executive officers’ pay and our performance in 2021. Here are a few highlights:

We used adjusted pre-tax title margin as the primary performance objective for our 2021 cash-based annual incentive plan, with 75% of the award tied to this objective and the remaining 25% tied to achievement of adjusted title revenue. We continued to use adjusted pre-tax title margin as the performance-based vesting condition in our 2021 long-term performance-based restricted stock awards. Our compensation committee considered whether this measure should be used in both the annual incentive plan and our long-term incentive awards. In recognition of the fact that it is one of the most important measures to our investors of the financial performance of our business, the committee determined it should be used in both programs. The committee determined it should be used in our cash-based annual incentive plan because it is a leading measure of operating performance and efficiency, has a strong correlation to our annual strategic plan and is directly affected by the actions of our executives in both strong and weak real estate markets. The committee determined it should be used in our long-term performance-based restricted stock awards because it reflects our ability to convert revenue into operating profits for shareholders and measures our progress toward achieving our long-term strategy, and therefore can have a significant impact on our long-term stock price and investor expectations.

Note that the financial measures used as performance targets for our named executive officers described in this discussion are non-GAAP measures and differ from the comparable GAAP measures reported in our financial statements. The measures are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain non-recurring and other items. We explain how we calculate these measures in the “Analysis of Compensation Components” section below.

SHAREHOLDER VOTE ON 2020 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

At our 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, we held a non-binding advisory vote, also called a “say on pay” vote, on the compensation of our named executive officers in 2020 as disclosed in the 2021 proxy statement. Approximately 96% of the votes cast were voted in favor of our “say on pay” proposal. The compensation committee considered these results when evaluating our executive compensation programs and determined to keep the current executive compensation platform in place without any changes.

SHAREHOLDER OUTREACH IN 2021

Our compensation committee is committed to listening and responding to the views of our shareholders in creating and tailoring our executive compensation programs. Following the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders and the 2020 “say on pay” shareholder vote, our President and Chief Financial Officer met with our investors in break-out sessions at investor conferences, as well as in independent one-on-one investor meetings, to discuss our business and stock price performance, and to discuss and receive feedback on our compensation programs. In this regard, we met with investors at nine investor conferences and numerous one-on-one meetings. The investors with whom we met in 2021 represented over 42% of our top 20 active shareholders, who collectively owned more than 50% of our shares as of December 31, 2021. None of the investors we met with in 2021 suggested any material changes to our executive compensation program.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPENSATION BEST PRACTICES

We periodically review our compensation programs and make adjustments that are believed to be in the best interests of our company and our shareholders. As part of this process, we review compensation trends and consider current best practices, and make changes in our compensation programs when we deem it appropriate, all with the goal of continually improving our approach to executive compensation.

Some of the best practices adopted by our compensation committee or full board of directors include the following:

COMPONENTS OF TOTAL COMPENSATION AND PAY MIX

We compensate our executive officers primarily through a mix of base salary, annual cash incentives and long-term equity-based incentives. We also provide our executive officers with the same retirement and employee benefit plans that are offered to our other employees, as well as limited other benefits, although these items are not significant components of our compensation programs. The following table provides information regarding the elements of compensation provided to our named executive officers in 2021:

ALLOCATION OF TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR 2021

The following chart and table show the average allocation of 2021 Total Compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table among the components of our compensation programs:

2021 COMPENSATION MIX

As illustrated above, a significant portion of each named executive officer’s total compensation is based on performance-based cash and equity incentives that are tied to our financial performance and stock price.

Our compensation committee believes this emphasis on performance-based incentive compensation is an effective way to use compensation to help us achieve our business objectives while directly aligning our executive officers’ interests with the interests of our shareholders.

ANALYSIS OF COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

BASE SALARY

Our compensation committee typically reviews salary levels annually as part of our performance review process, as well as in the event of promotions or other changes in our named executive officers’ positions or responsibilities. When establishing base salary levels, our compensation committee considers the peer compensation data provided by its external independent compensation consultant, Mercer, as well as a number of qualitative factors, including each named executive officer’s experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and performance. The compensation committee reviews these factors each year and, rather than providing a merit increase to executives each year, increases our executives’ base salaries only in years when the committee determines that such an increase is warranted. In 2021, in recognition of their strong individual performance and the Company’s performance, our compensation committee approved $70,000 increases to Messrs. Nolan’s and Jewkes’ base salaries.

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE-BASED CASH INCENTIVES

We award annual cash incentives based upon the achievement of pre-defined business and financial objectives relating to our title operations, which are specified in the first quarter of the year. Annual incentives play an important role in our approach to total compensation, as they motivate participants to achieve key fiscal year objectives by conditioning the payment of incentives on the achievement of defined, objectively determinable financial performance goals.

In the first quarter of 2021, our compensation committee approved our fiscal year business performance objectives and a target incentive opportunity for each participant, as well as the potential incentive opportunity range for maximum and threshold performance. No annual incentive payments are payable to a named executive officer if the pre-established, threshold performance levels are not met, and payments are capped at a maximum performance payout level. The financial performance results are derived from our annual financial statements (as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC), which are subject to an audit by our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP. However, as discussed below, the financial measures used as performance targets of our annual cash incentives for our named executive officers differ from the comparable GAAP measures reported in our financial statements. Below, we explain how we calculate the performance measures of our annual cash incentives.

The target opportunities of our annual cash incentives are expressed as a percentage of the individual’s base salary. The amount of the annual cash incentives actually paid depends on the level of achievement of the pre-established goals as follows:

An important tenet of our pay-for-performance philosophy is to utilize our compensation programs to motivate our executives to achieve performance levels that reach beyond what is expected of us as a company. The performance targets for our incentive plans are approved by our compensation committee and are based on discussions between management and our compensation committee. Target performance levels are intended to be difficult to achieve, but not unrealistic. Maximum performance levels are established to limit short-term incentive awards so as to avoid excessive compensation while encouraging executives to reach for performance beyond the target levels.

When setting the performance targets for our 2021 annual cash incentives, our compensation committee considered the following factors, which are discussed in more detail below:

FNF Annual Incentive Performance Measures and Results. The performance goals for our 2021 annual cash incentives were based on adjusted revenue and adjusted pre-tax profit margin, which we refer to as “adjusted pre-tax title margin,” in each case relating to our title segment. We believe these two performance measures are among the most important measures to our investors of the financial performance of our business. Title revenue is a leading measure of growth, market share, customer satisfaction and product strength. Pre-tax margin relating to our title segment is a leading measure of operating performance and efficiency. Both measures are used by investors and analysts and can have a significant impact on long-term stock price and the investing community’s expectations. Additionally, when combined with the strong focus on long-term shareholder return created by our equity-based incentives and our named executive officers’ significant stock ownership, these two measures analyzed on an annual basis provide a degree of checks and balances, requiring our named executive officers to consider both short-term and long-term performance of our businesses and investments. Adjusted title revenue and adjusted pre-tax title margin correspond to shareholder expectations, desired increase in our stock price, our annual budget, our long-term financial plan, and our board of directors’ expectations. Further, both are measures that executives can directly affect.

In the following table, we explain how we calculate the performance measures and why we use them.

The title insurance business is directly impacted by managements’ effectiveness in executing on our business strategy, and macro-economic factors such as mortgage interest rates, credit availability, job markets, economic growth, and changing demographics. Changes to mortgage interest rates, in particular, can have a significant impact on our title revenues and title margin.

Our annual incentive plan targets correlate with our annual strategic financial plans, which are developed in the first quarter based on our forecasted mortgage originations for the year and the relative mix of purchase versus refinance originations. In setting the threshold, target and maximum goals relating to the performance measures under our annual incentive plan, our compensation committee considered management’s expectations for 2021, which were based on a combination of forecasts provided by the MBA and the Urban Land Institute, anticipated changes in interest rates, as well as recent and expected industry and company trends. When we set our 2021 performance targets in March 2021, our assumptions included a decline in residential purchase volumes of 7% with an expectation of continued home price appreciation, a decline in refinance volumes of 43%, an 80 basis point increase in the 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate, and an 11% increase in the

national commercial market. Our assumptions also included rising home prices making housing less affordable and other recent and expected industry and company trends. We prepare a base plan as well as upside and downside scenarios, which, taken together, form the strategic financial plan and the basis of the performance measure targets. To establish threshold and maximum goals, percentage adjustments were applied to the target goals. In light of the expected trends in refinance, residential purchase and national commercial markets described above coupled with an anticipated rising interest rate environment, our compensation committee determined to set our 2021 adjusted pre-tax title margin performance target at 15%, and our 2021 title revenue target at $8,500 million. In setting the 2021 performanance targets, the compensation committee considered that the targets relative to the Company’s performance in 2020, but determined to set the targets lower than the 2020 results due to the Company’s extraordinary performance in 2020 and the expected market factors described above. The committee believed achievement of these targets would reflect strong performance by management in what was expected to be a challenging market environment.

The adjusted pre-tax title margin threshold and maximum goals were set at 250 basis points below and 250 basis points above the target, respectively, and title revenue threshold and maximum goals were set at 7.5% below and 7.5% above the target, respectively. Target performance levels are intended to be difficult to achieve, but not unrealistic. Maximum performance levels are established to limit short-term incentive awards so as to avoid excessive compensation while encouraging executives to reach for performance beyond the target levels. All of the goals are subject to review and approval by our compensation committee.

When calculating adjusted title revenues and adjusted pre-tax title margin, we adjust for acquisitions, divestitures, major restructuring charges, and non-budgeted discontinued operations. These adjustments encourage our executives to focus on achieving strong financial performance and efficient operation of our continuing businesses during the year to achieve the performance measures. The adjustments also ensure that our compensation committee is measuring management’s performance at the end of the period consistently with our budget for that period so that the measures serve as barometers of management’s performance in satisfying and retaining our clients, obtaining new clients, and operating the business efficiently. The adjustments also encourage our executives to focus on the long-term benefit of acquisitions or divestitures regardless of whether they may have a positive or negative impact on our adjusted revenue or pre-tax title margin in the current year.

Our 2021 results exceeded expectations due to strong performance in a challenging environment and effective cost management by our executives, including a 32% increase in direct title insurance premiums which resulted from an increase in closed order volumes and increased fee per file driven by an increase in purchase activity, partially offset by a decrease in refinance activity. Remittances for agency title insurance premiums increased 38% year-over-year reflecting an improving residential purchase environment in many markets throughout the country and a concerted effort by management to increase remittances with existing agents as well as cultivate new relationships with potential new agents. Our executives’ performance directly impacted our ability to effectively manage our business in response to each of these factors and deliver strong results for our shareholders.

The following charts set forth the 2021 threshold, target and maximum performance goals, the relative weighting of the performance measures, and 2021 performance results under our annual incentive plan. Dollar amounts are in millions.

The table below presents a reconciliation of our GAAP total revenue and pre-tax earnings to our adjusted revenue, adjusted pre-tax earnings and adjusted pre-tax margin for the title segment of the Company. Dollar amounts are in millions.

The following table shows each named executive officer’s 2021 base salary, target annual incentive opportunity expressed as a percentage of base salary, and the 2021 annual incentive earned.

LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVES

On November 4, 2021, we granted performance-based restricted stock to each of our named executive officers.

We do not attempt to time the granting of awards to any internal or external events. Our general practice has been for our compensation committee to grant equity awards during the fourth quarter of each year following the release of our financial results for the third quarter. We also may grant awards in connection with significant new hires, promotions or changes in duties. 

Our compensation committee’s determinations are not formulaic; rather, in the context of competitive market compensation data and our stated pay philosophy, our compensation committee determines the share amounts on a subjective basis in its discretion and award amounts may differ among individual executive officers in any given year. Following is a brief discussion regarding the awards made in 2021.

Performance-based Restricted Stock. In 2021, the proportion of the FNF equity awards consisting of performance-based restricted stock remained at 100%. As in recent years, we did not grant stock options or awards that vest solely based on continued service to our named executive officers.

The restricted stock awards vest over three years, provided we achieve adjusted pre-tax margin in our title segment of 12% in at least two of the five quarters beginning October 1, 2021. We considered various alternative measures, but we again selected adjusted pre-tax title margin, which measures our achievements in operating efficiency, profitability and capital management. The committee determined to use adjusted pre-tax title margin because it reflects our ability to convert revenue into operating profits for shareholders and measures our progress toward achieving our long-term strategy, and therefore can have a significant impact on our long-term stock price.

When we set our adjusted pre-tax title margin performance goal in November 2021, the compensation committee considered the MBA’s forecast of a 33% decline in residential mortgage originations in 2022 and an increase of 90 basis points in the 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate, which, in particular, can have a significant impact on our title margins. Mortgage rates are a key determinant in the level of real estate transaction activity, especially in the residential refinance market, and an increase in mortgage rates in a short amount of time will likely depress both the refinance and purchase markets considerably. Given the surge in refinance orders during 2020 and 2021 caused by unprecedentedly low mortgage rates, the compensation committee considered MBA’s forecast that refinance originations would fall by 62% in 2022 compared to 2021. With respect to the residential purchase market, the compensation committee considered rising interest rates, the current limited housing supply, increasing home prices and tight credit markets. The committee considered Urban Land Institute’s forecast of continued growth in the commercial real estate market in 2022, as well as potential headwinds arising from, inflation, labor and supply-chain disruption, geopolitics, potential tax changes, the transition of many businesses to a work from home model, and an expected rising interest rate environment. The compensation committee balanced these considerations against management’s historically strong performance in managing expenses during different real estate cycles and ability to drive industry leading margins.

Based on these considerations for the performance period, the compensation committee determined to set the performance goal for our 2021 restricted stock awards at 12%, which is 250 basis points higher than the 2020 performance goal of 9.5%, in order to encourage management to continue to drive strong expense management and margins in our title business. Adjusted pre-tax title margin for purposes of the performance-based restricted stock awards is calculated in the same manner as it is calculated under our annual incentive plan.

Although we considered using a longer performance period for these awards, we determined that achievement of the criteria in at least two of the five quarters beginning October 1, 2021, which is the performance period we have historically used with respect to our performance-based equity

awards, was the appropriate performance period because of the difficulty in predicting future performance of the mortgage market, particularly for a period of more than one year, because it is largely driven by interest rates, which may be volatile over a longer term, and other economic forces outside of our control, and because of the seasonality inherent in the title business, with the first quarter typically much weaker than the remaining quarters due to weather conditions and holidays impacting opened order activity in November and December resulting in fewer closings in the first quarter.

With respect to all restricted stock awards, credit is provided for dividends paid on unvested shares, but payment of those dividends is subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying shares – in other words, if the underlying shares do not vest, the dividends are forfeited.

BENEFIT PLANS

Our named executive officers generally participate in the same compensation programs as our other executives and employees. All employees in the United States, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan and our employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in broad-based health and welfare plans. We do not offer pensions or supplemental executive retirement plans for our named executive officers.

401(k) Plan. We sponsor a defined contribution savings plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan contains a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to 40% of their eligible compensation, but not more than statutory limits, which were generally $19,500 in 2021. Vesting in matching contributions, if any, occurs proportionally each year over an employee’s first three years of continuous employment with us.

Deferred Compensation Plan. We provide our named executive officers, as well as other key employees, with the opportunity to defer receipt of their compensation under a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. A description of the plan and information regarding our named executive officers’ interests under the plan can be found in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table and accompanying narrative.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We maintain our ESPP through which our executives and employees can purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions and through matching employer contributions. At the end of each calendar quarter, we make a matching contribution to the account of each participant who has been continuously employed by us or a participating subsidiary for the last four calendar quarters. For employees with more than 10 years of service and officers, including our named executive officers, matching contributions

are equal to 1/2 of the amount contributed during the quarter that is one-year earlier than the quarter in which the matching contribution was made. The matching contributions, together with the employee deferrals, are used to purchase shares of our common stock on the open market. For information regarding the matching contributions made to our named executive officers in 2021 see “– Summary Compensation Table.” See also Proposal No. 3 – Approval of the Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Health and Welfare Benefits. We sponsor various broad-based health and welfare benefit plans for our employees, including life insurance, and our executives are eligible to participate in an executive medical plan. The taxable portion of the premiums on this additional life insurance is reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” under the column “All Other Compensation” and related footnote. We also offer a program under which we reimburse our employees escrow and title fees when they use one of our title companies in connection with the closing of their personal real estate transactions.

Other Benefits. We provide a few additional benefits to our executives. In general, the additional benefits provided are intended to help our named executive officers be more productive and efficient and to protect us and our executives from certain business risks and potential threats. We also provide certain of our named executive officers with personal use of the corporate aircraft for security and safety reasons. Our compensation and audit committees regularly review the additional benefits provided to our executive officers and believe they are minimal. Further detail regarding other benefits in 2021 can be found in the “Summary Compensation Table” under the column “All Other Compensation” and related footnote.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND POST-TERMINATION COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. These agreements provide us and the executives with certain rights and obligations during and following a termination of employment, and in some instances, following a change in control.

We believe these agreements are necessary to protect our legitimate business interests, as well as to protect the executives in the event of certain termination events. For a discussion of the material terms of the agreements, see the narrative following “– Grants of Plan-Based Awards” and “– Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

ROLE OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing, approving and monitoring all compensation programs for our named executive officers. Our compensation committee is also responsible for administering our annual incentive plan and our omnibus incentive plan. During 2021, our compensation committee engaged Mercer, an independent compensation consultant, to conduct an annual review of our compensation programs for our named executive officers and other key executives and our board of directors. Mercer was selected, and its fees and terms of engagement were approved, by our compensation committee. Mercer reported directly to the compensation committee and received compensation only for services related to executive compensation issues. During 2021, the Company also engaged Guy Carpenter, another operating subsidiary of Marsh & McClennan, to provide surety and casualty insurance consulting and

brokerage services. FNF paid Guy Carpenter fees of $1,843,284 in 2021. In February 2021, the compensation committee reviewed the independence of Mercer in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange regarding the independence of consultants to the compensation committee and affirmed the consultant’s independence and that no conflicts of interest existed.

The compensation consultant provided our compensation committee with relevant market data on compensation, including annual salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, other benefits, total compensation and pay mix, and alternatives to consider when making compensation decisions. Mercer also assists our compensation committee in its annual review of a compensation risk assessment.

Our Chairman, Mr. Foley, participated in the 2021 executive compensation process by making recommendations with respect to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Quirk. Mr. Quirk made recommendations with respect to the compensation of his direct reports, as discussed further below. In addition, Michael L. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, coordinated with our compensation committee members and Mercer in preparing the committee’s meeting agendas and, at the direction of the compensation committee, assisted Mercer in gathering financial information about FNF and stock ownership information for our executives for inclusion in the consultant’s reports to our compensation committee. Our executive officers do not make recommendations to our compensation committee with respect to their own compensation.

While our compensation committee carefully considers the information provided by, and the recommendations of, Mercer and the individuals who participate in the compensation process, our compensation committee retains complete discretion to accept, reject or modify any recommended compensation decisions.

ESTABLISHING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION LEVELS

Our compensation committee considered several important qualitative and quantitative factors when determining the overall compensation of our named executive officers in 2021, including:

In evaluating the compensation of our named executive officers, our compensation committee considers the recommendations of our Chairman. Our compensation committee also considers our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations with respect to the compensation of his direct

reports. In making their recommendations, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer review the performance of the other named executive officers, job responsibilities, importance to our overall business strategy, and our compensation philosophy. Neither our Chairman nor our Chief Executive Officer makes a recommendation to our compensation committee regarding his own compensation. The compensation decisions are not formulaic, and the members of our compensation committee did not assign precise weights to the factors listed above. Our compensation committee utilized their individual and collective business judgment to review, assess, and approve compensation for our named executive officers.

To assist our compensation committee, the compensation consultant conducted marketplace reviews of the compensation we pay to our executive officers. They gathered marketplace compensation data on total compensation, which consists of annual salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, executive benefits, executive ownership levels, overhang and dilution from our omnibus incentive plan, compensation levels as a percent of revenue, pay mix and other key statistics. This data is collected and analyzed twice during the year, once in the first quarter and again in the fourth quarter. The marketplace compensation data provides a point of reference for our compensation committee, but our compensation committee ultimately makes subjective compensation decisions based on all the factors described above.

For 2021, Mercer used two marketplace data approaches: (1) two general executive compensation surveys with a specific focus on companies with revenues of between $5 billion and $20 billion, and (2) compensation information for a group of 15 companies, or the FNF peer group. In 2021, Mercer recommended, and our compensation committee approved, removing CNO Financials Group, Inc. (as it falls outside of the target revenue range), and Aon plc (as it was the only insurance brokerage business our prior peer group), and adding two larger corporations, Aflac Incorporated and The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. to account for FNF’s growth. Our peer group was based on a size range of approximately 1/2 to 2 times that of FNF’s revenue, and with the changes made to the peer group in 2021, we are positioned between the 50th and 75th percentiles for revenue and near the median for both market capitalization and enterprise value. When selecting the peer group, we consider a combination of factors including revenues, assets, and market capitalization, industry focus (generally the insurance industry based on Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) Code, nature and complexity of operations, standards used by ISS for identifying peer groups for public companies, and whether the company competes with us for business and/or executive talent.

The 2021 peer group consisted of:

Our named executive officers’ 2021 total direct compensation (consisting of base salaries, annual performance-based cash incentives and long-term equity incentives) generally fell within a range around the 50th percentile of the peer group data, with base salaries falling slightly below the 50th percentile. This approach aligns with our philosophy of emphasizing variable performance-based compensation over fixed compensation.

While the compensation decisions of our compensation committee ultimately were subjective judgments, our compensation committee also considered the following factors in making compensation decisions for our named executive officers. In determining the total compensation for Mr. Quirk, our compensation committee considered his more than 35 years of experience with FNF working in the title business and his importance to the continued successful operation of FNF’s title business. In determining the total compensation for Mr. Nolan, our compensation committee considered his role and responsibility for oversight of our title operations, his involvement in our investor relations, as well as his more than 35 years of experience with FNF. In determining the total compensation for Mr. Park, our compensation committee considered his role and responsibility for accounting and financial reporting matters, as well as his 30 years of experience with FNF. In determining the total compensation for Mr. Jewkes, our compensation committee considered his role and responsibility for oversight of our day to day title operations, as well as his more than 35 years of experience with FNF and its predecessor companies. In determining the total compensation for Mr. Sadowski, our compensation committee considered his role and responsibility for legal and underwriting matters, as well as his more than 30 years of experience with FNF.

The marketplace compensation information in this discussion is not deemed filed or a part of this compensation discussion and analysis for certification purposes.

OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS HAVE SIGNIFICANT OWNERSHIP STAKES

We have formal stock ownership guidelines for all corporate officers, including our named executive officers and members of our board of directors. The guidelines were established to encourage such individuals to hold a multiple of their base salary (or annual retainer) in our common stock and thereby align a significant portion of their own economic interests with those of our shareholders. Further, the award agreements for our 2021 restricted stock awards provide that our executives who do not hold shares of our stock with a value sufficient to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines must retain 50% of the shares acquired as a result of the lapse of vesting restrictions (excluding shares withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations) until the executive satisfies the applicable stock ownership guideline. The ownership levels are shown in the “Security Ownership of Management and Directors” table below. The guidelines call for the executive or director to reach the ownership multiple within four years. Shares of restricted stock count toward meeting the guidelines. The guidelines, including those applicable to non-employee directors, are as follows:

Our named executive officers and our board of directors maintain significant long-term investments in our company. As of December 31, 2021, each of our named executive officers and non-employee directors holdings of our stock exceeded these stock ownership guidelines. Collectively, as reported in the table “Security Ownership of Management and Directors,” our named executive officers and directors beneficially own an aggregate of 13,338,253 shares of our common stock as of April 18, 2022, which represents approximately 5.1% of our outstanding common stock with a value of approximately $560 million based on the closing price of our common stock on that date. The fact that our executives and directors hold such a large investment in our shares is part of our culture and our compensation philosophy. Management’s sizable investment in our shares aligns their economic interests directly with the interests of our shareholders, and their wealth will rise and fall as our share price rises and falls. This promotes teamwork among our management team and strengthens the team’s focus on achieving long-term results and increasing shareholder return.

HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICY

In order to more closely align the interests of our directors and executive officers with those of our shareholders and to protect against inappropriate risk-taking, we maintain a hedging and pledging policy, which prohibits our executive officers and directors from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions with respect to our securities, engaging in short-term or speculative transactions in our securities that could create heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct or holding FNF securities in margin accounts or pledging them as collateral for loans without our approval. None of our executives or directors had outstanding hedges of our securities as of December 31, 2021.

CLAWBACK POLICY

We maintain a clawback policy that provides for the recovery of incentive-based compensation from our executive officers if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, and the incentive-based compensation paid during the preceding three-year period would have been lower had the compensation been based on the restated financial results.

TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

Our compensation committee considers the impact of tax and accounting treatment when determining executive compensation.

In general, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount that can be deducted in any one year for compensation paid to certain executive officers. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer serving at any time during the taxable year, its three other most highly compensated executive officers employed at the end of the taxable year and any employee who was covered under Section 162(m) for any earlier tax year that began after December 31, 2016 will be covered by Section 162(m). While our compensation committee considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the compensation committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions, as noted above, and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible for tax purposes.

Our compensation committee also considers the accounting impact when structuring and approving awards. We account for share based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, which governs the appropriate accounting treatment of share-based payments under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and the compensation committee recommended to the board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

ANNUAL INCENTIVE AWARDS

In March 2021, our compensation committee approved performance-based cash incentive opportunities for our named executive officers. The performance-based cash incentive opportunities are determined by multiplying base salary by the named executive officer’s applicable percentage approved by our compensation committee based on the level of performance that we achieved. More information about the annual incentive awards, including the targets and criteria for determining the amounts payable to our named executive officers, can be found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARDS

In November 2021, our compensation committee approved grants of performance-based restricted stock to all our named executive officers. The performance element applicable to the performance-based restricted stock is based upon achievement of adjusted pre-tax title margin of 12% in at least two of the five quarters beginning October 1, 2021. The restricted stock also vests proportionately each year over three years based on continued employment with us. More information about the long-term equity incentive awards can be found in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan, which was amended and restated effective January 1, 2009, participants, including our named executive officers, can defer up to 75% of their base salary and 100% of their monthly, quarterly and annual incentives, subject to a minimum deferral of $19,500. Deferral elections are made during specified enrollment periods. Deferrals and related earnings are not subject to vesting conditions.

Participants’ accounts are bookkeeping entries only and participants’ benefits are unsecured. Participants’ accounts are credited or debited daily based on the performance of hypothetical investments selected by the participant and may be changed on any business day.

Upon retirement, which generally means separation of employment after attaining age 60, an individual may elect either a lump-sum withdrawal or installment payments over 5, 10 or 15 years. Similar payment elections are available for pre-retirement survivor benefits. In the event of a termination prior to retirement, distributions are paid over a 5-year period. Account balances less than the applicable Internal Revenue Code Section 402(g) limit will be distributed in a lump sum. Participants can elect to receive in-service distributions in a plan year designated by the participant and these amounts will be paid within two and one-half months from the close of the plan year in which they were elected to be paid. The participant may also petition us to suspend elected deferrals, and to receive partial or full payout under the plan, in the event of an unforeseeable financial emergency, provided that the participant does not have other resources to meet the hardship.

Plan participation continues until termination of employment. Participants will receive their account balance in a lump-sum distribution if employment is terminated within two years after a change in control.

In 2004, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code was passed. Section 409A changed the tax laws applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation plans, generally placing more restrictions on the timing of deferrals and distributions. The deferred compensation plan contains amounts deferred before and after the passage of Section 409A.

For amounts subject to Section 409A, which in general terms includes amounts deferred after December 31, 2004, a modification to a participant’s payment elections may be made upon the following events:

Deferral amounts that were vested on or before December 31, 2004 are generally not subject to Section 409A and are governed by more liberal distribution provisions that were in effect prior to the passage of Section 409A. For example, a participant may withdraw these grandfathered amounts at any time, subject to a withdrawal penalty of ten percent, or may change the payment elections for these grandfathered amounts if notice is timely provided.

The table below describes the contributions and distributions made with respect to the named executive officers’ accounts under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Of our named executive officers, only Mr. Jewkes deferred 2021 compensation under the plan. Mr. Quirk does not have a balance in the nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

In this section, we discuss the nature and estimated value of payments and benefits we would provide to our named executive officers in the event of termination of employment or a change in control. The amounts described in this section reflect amounts that would have been payable under (i) our plans, and (ii) where applicable, their employment agreements if their employment had terminated on December 31, 2021.

The types of termination situations include a voluntary termination by the executive, with or without good reason, a termination by us either for cause or not for cause and termination in the event of disability or death. We also describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided upon a change in control without a termination of employment. The actual payments and benefits that would be provided upon a termination of employment would be based on the named executive officers’ compensation and benefit levels at the time of the termination of employment and the value of accelerated vesting of share-based awards would be dependent on the value of the underlying stock.

For each type of employment termination, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits that are available generally to our domestic salaried employees, such as distributions under our 401(k) savings plan, certain disability benefits and accrued vacation. We have not described or provided an estimate of the value of any payments or benefits under plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of a named executive officer and that are generally available to all salaried employees. In addition to these generally available plans and arrangements, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan, as described above in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table and accompanying narrative.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

As discussed above, we have entered into employment or service agreements with our named executive officers. The agreements contain provisions for the payment of severance benefits following certain termination events. Below is a summary of the payments and benefits that the named executive officers would receive in connection with various employment or service termination scenarios if their terminations had occurred on December 31, 2021 based on their employment agreements in effect at that time. None of our named executive officers receive payments upon a change of control without a related termination of employment.

Definition: Cause. The following table shows for each of the named executive officers the reasons that the Company may terminate the executive’s employment for “Cause.”

Definition: Good Reason. The table below shows for each of the named executive officers the reasons that each executive may terminate his employment for “Good Reason.”

The agreements also contain provisions relating to the excess parachute payment excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreements provide that if any payments or benefits to be paid to the named executive officer would be subject to the excise tax on excess parachute payments, then the executive may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. If the executive does not elect to have such payments so reduced, the executive is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments. None of the agreements provide for a gross-up payment for the excise tax.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UNDER FNF OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

In addition to the post-termination rights and obligations set forth in the employment agreements of our named executive officers, our omnibus incentive plan provides for the potential acceleration of vesting and/or payment of equity awards in connection with a change in control. Under our omnibus incentive plan, except as otherwise provided in a participant’s award agreement, upon the occurrence of a change in control any and all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will become immediately exercisable, any restriction imposed on restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards will lapse, and any and all performance shares, performance units and other awards with performance conditions will be deemed earned at the target level, or, if no target level is specified, the maximum level.

For purposes of our omnibus plan, the term “change in control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

ESTIMATED CASH PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

The table below includes the cash severance amounts that would have been payable to each executive in the event of a termination of employment by us not for cause or a termination by the executive for good reason. None of our executives would have received a termination payment if their employment had been terminated on December 31, 2021 for cause or without good reason by the executive, or due to death or disability. Our estimate of the cash severance amounts that would be provided to each executive assumes that their employment terminated on December 31, 2021. The severance amounts do not include a prorated 2021 annual incentive since the named executive officers would have been paid based on their service through the end of the year and therefore would have received the annual inactive whether or not the termination occurred.

ESTIMATED EQUITY PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

The table below includes the estimated values of the FNF restricted stock awards held by the named executive officers that would vest upon a change of control, or upon the termination of their employment without cause or by the executive for good reason, in each case assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2021. None of our executives’ restricted stock awards would have vested in the event of their termination with cause or by the executive without good reason. The amounts below were determined based upon the number of unvested shares of restricted stock held by each executive as of December 31, 2021 (as set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table above), multiplied by $52.18 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2021. None of our named executive officers held any unvested stock options as of December 31, 2021.

In connection with certain change in control transactions, our named executive officers may require ServiceLink to purchase their ServiceLink profits interest awards for an amount equal to the fair market value of the interests.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The compensation committee is currently composed of Daniel D. (Ron) Lane (Chair), Heather H. Murren and Cary H. Thompson. During fiscal year 2021, no member of the compensation committee was a former or current officer or employee of FNF or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during fiscal year 2021, none of our executive officers served (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our board.

DISCUSSION OF OUR COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES AS THEY RELATE TO RISK MANAGEMENT

We reviewed our compensation policies and programs for all employees, including our named executive officers, and determined that our compensation program are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In conducting the analysis, we reviewed the structure of our executive, non-officer and sales commission incentive programs and the internal controls and risk abatement processes that are in place for each program. We also reviewed data compiled across our direct title operations, agency title operations, ServiceLink, F&G and corporate operations relative to total revenue, total pre-tax profits, total compensation expenses and incentive program expenses (including as a percentage of both revenue and total compensation expenses).

We believe that several design features of our executive compensation program mitigate risk. We set base salaries at levels that provide our employees with assured cash compensation that is appropriate to their job duties and level of responsibility and that, when taken together with incentive awards, motivate them to perform at a high level without encouraging inappropriate risk-taking to achieve a reasonable level of secure compensation.

With respect to our executives’ incentive opportunities, we believe that our use of measurable corporate financial performance goals, multiple performance levels and minimum, target and maximum achievable payouts, together with the compensation committee’s discretion to reduce awards, serve to mitigate excessive risk-taking. The risk of overstatement of financial figures to which incentives are tied is mitigated by the compensation committee’s review and approval of the awards and payments under the awards, our ability to recover any incentive-based compensation pursuant to our clawback policy and the internal and external review of our financials. We also believe that our use of restricted stock and multi-year vesting schedules in our long-term incentive awards encourages recipients to deliver incremental value to our shareholders and aligns their interests with our sustainable long-term performance, thereby mitigating risk. In addition, we have market competitive stock ownership requirements for some executives and included stock retention requirements in our restricted stock awards, both of which help to align our executives’ interests with our long-term performance and mitigate risk.

With respect to our non-officer incentive program, we believe that our use of clearly communicated performance goals and close monitoring by our corporate accounting group, corporate underwriting group and senior management serve to mitigate excessive risk-taking. Our sales commission incentive program is based on revenue generation, which is critical to our performance. We have controls in place that mitigate the risk that transactions might be recommended or executed to earn short-term, commission-based incentive compensation, including operational management oversight and approval, management reporting, and detailed underwriting guidelines and approval escalation.

2021 CEO PAY RATIO

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO and the annual total compensation of our employees for 2021, which we refer to as the CEO pay ratio. Our CEO pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, calculated as described above, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees for 2021 was 125 to 1. This ratio was based on the following:

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee. For purposes of the above CEO pay ratio disclosure, we are required to identify a median employee based on our worldwide workforce, without regard to their location, compensation arrangements, or employment status (full-time versus part-time). The median employee is determined by identifying the employee whose compensation is at the median of the compensation of our employee population (other than our CEO). Accordingly, to identify the median of the compensation of our employee population, the methodology and the material assumptions and estimates that we used were as follows:

Employee Population. We determined that, as of November 30, 2020, the date we selected to identify the median employee, our total global employee population consisted of approximately 26,200 individuals working for FNF.

Compensation Measure Used to Identify the Median Employee. Given the geographical distribution of our employee population, we use a variety of pay elements to structure the compensation arrangements of our employees. Consequently, for purposes of measuring the compensation of our employees to identify the median employee, rather than using annual total compensation, we selected base salary/wages and overtime pay, plus paid incentive bonus through November 30, 2020 as the compensation measure.

Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee. To determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of that employee’s compensation for 2021 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation in the amount of $83,831.

Annual Total Compensation of Chief Executive Officer. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, in accordance with SEC rules, we included the amount reported for Mr. Quirk in the “Total” column for 2021 in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION OF OUR NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Our compensation consultant reviews the compensation paid to our directors, including Mr. Foley, on a regular basis, and then makes recommendations on any changes to our director compensation practices. Our compensation committee discusses the compensation consultant’s recommendations and determines whether to make any changes to our director compensation in that year.

With respect to Mr. Foley’s compensation in 2021, our directors discussed the critical role Mr. Foley plays in the formation and execution of our long-term strategic vision. Mr. Foley founded FNF in 1984 and transformed it into a leading provider of title insurance, escrow and other title-related services. Under Mr. Foley’s leadership, FNF, through our title insurance underwriters, issues more title insurance policies than any other title company in the United States. In addition to the incredible value Mr. Foley has created at FNF, he led the teams that created additional value for FNF’s shareholders through strategic transactions such as:

While Mr. Foley is no longer an executive or involved in the day-to-day operation of FNF, he continues to be the driving force behind the development and execution of our strategic direction.

In light of the high value Mr. Foley brings to our board and our shareholders and his responsibilities as Chairman of our board, the compensation committee determined that it was important to continue to compensate Mr. Foley at a level that was aligned with the compensation paid to non-executive board chairs at similarly sized organizations while recognizing the time he spends performing his duties as Chairman and the significance of his contributions to our continued success. Accordingly, in June 2020, the Company and Mr. Foley entered into a letter agreement (the Letter Agreement) amending the terms of Mr. Foley’s compensation as non-executive Chairman. Pursuant to the agreement, beginning June 1, 2020, Mr. Foley received the following compensation for his service as non-executive Chairman:

Also at that time, Mr. Foley ceased to participate in the Company’s equity portfolio incentive plan.

In November 2021, in recognition of Mr. Foley’s superior service, strategic input and high value to FNF and its stakeholders, as well as his additional engagement and services relating to F&G, and FNF’s superior financial performance, our compensation committee approved an increase of Mr. Foley’s annual cash retainer from $200,000 to $500,000 and an increase to the grant date fair value of his annual equity award from $315,000 to $500,000.

Under the terms of Mr. Foley’s director services agreement, if his service is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, due to death or disability, by him for good reason or if he is not nominated to run for re-election as Chairman of the board, is nominated, but does not receive enough votes to be re-elected to the board, or is removed as Chairman of the board for reasons other than cause, then he is entitled to receive:

If we terminate Mr. Foley’s service for cause or he resigns without good reason our only obligation is the payment of any accrued obligations.

For purposes of Mr. Foley’s agreement, “cause” includes Mr. Foley’s persistent failure to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care, willful neglect of duties, conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty, material breach of his agreement, or impeding or failing to materially cooperate with an investigation authorized by our board. The term “good reason” is defined in the agreement to include a material diminution in his position or title or the assignment of duties to him that are materially inconsistent with his position or title, a material diminution of his annual retainer, within six months immediately preceding or within two years immediately following a change in control, (1) a material adverse change in this status, authority or responsibility, (2) a material adverse change in the position to

whom he reports or to his service relationship as a result of such reporting structure change, or a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the position to whom he reports, our material breach of any of our obligations under the agreement, or election of a new director to the board of directors who he did not consent to or vote for.

COMPENSATION OF OUR OTHER DIRECTORS

Mr. Quirk received no additional compensation for services as a member of our board in 2021. In 2021, all non-employee directors other than Mr. Foley, received an annual retainer of $80,000, payable quarterly. The chairman and each member of the audit committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $100,000 and $35,000, respectively, for their service on the audit committee. The chairman and each member of the special litigation committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $100,000 and $75,000, respectively, for their service on the special litigation committee. The chairman and each member of the compensation committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $25,000 and $15,000, respectively, for their service on such committees. The chairman and each member of the corporate governance and nominating committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively, for their service on such committees. Mr. Ammerman, who serves as our Lead Independent Director, does not receive any additional compensation for that role.

In addition, in 2021 each non-employee director other than Mr. Foley received a long-term incentive award of 5,144 shares of restricted stock. Mr. Foley received a long-term incentive award of 10,357 shares of restricted stock. These restricted stock awards were granted under our omnibus plan and vest proportionately each year over three years from the date of grant based upon continued service on our board, subject to the achievement of performance-based criteria. In addition, Mr. Dhanidina received a new director award of 3,235 restricted shares in connection with joining our board.

Mr. Massey, who served as a longtime member of our board and has provided significant value to the Board and our Company during his tenure, resigned from our board effective as of January 9, 2021. Mr. Massey had served as a director of FNF for 15 years, during which time he made significant contributions through his service on the compensation committee, including as committee chair, and previously on the corporate governance and nominating committee. In recognition of Mr. Massey’s longtime service and contributions, the compensation committee approved acceleration of 12,105 restricted shares held by Mr. Massey.

We also reimburse each non-employee director for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings and director education programs. Each non-employee member of our board is eligible to participate in our deferred compensation plan to the extent he or she elects to defer any board or committee fees. Mr. Ammerman, Ms. Morgan, Mr. Rood and Mr. Shea each deferred some or all of the fees they earned in 2021 for their service on the board and the committees on which they serve.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

We believe that our compensation programs are structured to appropriately balance guaranteed base salary and performance-based at-risk annual and long-term incentives so as to incent our executives to drive strong short and long-term performance while providing enough ensured annual compensation in the form of base salary to discourage excessive risk-taking. We believe that the success of this approach is evidenced by our long history of delivering consistent, industry-leading operating results and investment returns to our shareholders. FNF continued to outperform the industry in 2021 as we generated $15.9 billion of total revenue (excluding $253 million of noncash, valuation gains on investment securities) and $2.4 billion of net earnings from continuing operations, driven by strong mortgage origination activity as well as F&G’s sales boosting asset growth.

Our consistent operating results have translated to strong returns for our shareholders. During the three-year period, from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2021, we delivered a total return to our shareholders of approximately 79%, compared to a total return on the S&P 500 of approximately 97% during the same period. This includes a return of approximately $1.2 billion during this three-year period to our shareholders in the form of cash dividends.

We currently hold our “say on pay” vote every year. A majority of our shareholders approved our “say on pay” proposal in 2021, with approximately 96% of the votes cast voted in favor of the proposal.

Our compensation committee is committed to listening and responding to the views of our shareholders in creating and tailoring our executive compensation programs. Following the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders and the 2020 “say-on-pay” shareholder vote, our President and Chief Financial Officer met with our investors in break-out sessions at investor conferences, as well as in independent one-on-one investor meetings, to discuss our business and stock price performance, and to discuss and receive feedback on our compensation programs. We met with investors at 9 investor conferences and numerous one-on-one meetings. The investors with whom we met in 2021 represented over 42% of our top 20 active shareholders, who collectively owned more than 50% of our shares as of December 31, 2021. Generally, our shareholders did not express any concerns about FNF’s executive compensation plans and practices in 2021.

We urge our shareholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, which describes in detail our compensation philosophy and how our compensation programs operate and are designed to achieve our business and compensation objectives, as well as the “Summary Compensation Table” and other related compensation tables and disclosures, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers.

We ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the annual meeting:

RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and executive and Director Compensation section, the compensation tables and related narrative.

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Approval of this resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented and entitled to vote. However, as this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding on the Company, the board or the compensation committee, and will not require us to take any action. The final decision on the compensation of our named executive officers remains with our compensation committee and the board, although the compensation committee and the board will consider the outcome of this vote when making compensation decisions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Our Board has approved an amendment and restatement of the Fidelity National Financial, Inc. 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the ESPP, subject to the approval of our shareholders. Accordingly, we are seeking shareholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the ESPP.

The purpose of the amendment and restatement of the ESPP is to increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be allocated as matching shares and purchased under the Plan pursuant to participant contributions, as described below, by 12,000,000 shares.

BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL

The ESPP allows participating employees to elect to have a portion of their pay deducted and used to purchase shares of our common stock, and for the Company to make matching contributions that are used to purchase shares of our common stock for the employee if the employee satisfies certain continued employment requirements.

We have successfully used the ESPP to attract, retain and incentivize highly qualified employees; however, there are not enough shares remaining available under the ESPP to continue the ESPP program. The ESPP currently provides that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be allocated as matching shares and purchased pursuant to participant contributions under the ESPP since the date the plan was last approved by our shareholders, at our 2014 annual meeting, is 15,000,000 shares. This number was increased by 6,524,677 shares to a total of 21,524,677 shares due to the equitable adjustments made to the share reserve in connection with the reclassification of the Company’s common stock in June 2014 to create two tracking stocks and the spin-off of Black Knight, Inc. in September 2017. If the number of shares available under the ESPP is not increased, we anticipate that the current share authorization would be exhausted by the end of the second quarter of 2022.

If the amendment and restatement of the ESPP is approved by our shareholders, this number of authorized shares would be increased by 12,000,000 to 33,524,677 shares. Assuming our shareholders approve the amendment and restatement of the ESPP and based on historical share usage under the ESPP, we expect we could continue to offer the ESPP program to our employees on the current terms for approximately three to four years.

We believe that our equity programs, including our ESPP, have been integral to our success in the past, particularly as it relates to attracting and retaining our strong workforce, and are important to our ability to achieve our corporate performance goals in the years ahead. We also believe that the continuation of our ESPP program through the amendment and restatement of the ESPP will enable us to continue to maintain alignment in the interests of our employees and shareholders consistent with our compensation philosophy. For these reasons, we consider approval of the amendment and restatement of the ESPP important to our future success.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ESPP

The ESPP is intended to provide an incentive to attract and retain employees, to increase employee morale, and to facilitate investment by our employees in the long-term success of FNF by allowing employees to accumulate funds through payroll deductions which are then used to purchase shares of our common stock. The ESPP also assists with our employee retention goals because, in order to receive the benefit of the Company matching contribution, employees must remain employed by FNF until the matching contribution date that is one year after the quarter end in which their participant contributions were made. Participation in the ESPP is voluntary. The ESPP is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code or an employee benefit plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The complete text of the ESPP is set forth as Annex A hereto. The following is a summary of the material features of the ESPP and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annex A.

Effective Date and Duration

The ESPP was as last approved by our shareholders at our annual shareholder meeting in 2014. If approved by our shareholders, the ESPP, as amended and restated to increase the number of shares available under the ESPP, will become effective as of the date of the 2022 annual meeting. Subject to the right of our board of directors to amend or terminate the ESPP at any time, the ESPP will remain in effect until all of the shares of our common stock authorized under the ESPP have been delivered to participating employees according to the ESPP’s terms. If the ESPP is not approved by our shareholders, the amendment and restatement of the plan will not become effective and, unless terminated earlier by our Board, the ESPP will remain in effect until all shares available under the ESPP have been issued.

Amendment and Termination

Since future conditions affecting FNF cannot be anticipated or foreseen, we have reserved the right for our board of directors to amend or terminate the ESPP at any time, provided that no such action may, without a participant’s consent, adversely affect any rights previously granted to such participant. No amendment that would require shareholder approval under NYSE listing standards or applicable law may become effective without shareholder approval.

Administration of the ESPP

The ESPP is currently administered by a committee appointed by our board of directors. If at any time a committee has not been appointed to administer the ESPP, our board of directors may serve as the committee until such time as a committee is selected. The committee has full power and authority to designate agents to carry out responsibilities relating to the ESPP, to administer, interpret and construe the terms of the ESPP, to answer all questions that may arise under the ESPP, to establish rules and procedures for administering the ESPP, and to perform such further acts as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the operation of the ESPP. The committee’s actions and determinations under the ESPP are conclusive and binding on all interested parties.

Shares Available for Purchase

Subject to adjustment as described below, the ESPP currently provides that the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be allocated as matching shares and purchased pursuant to participant contributions under the ESPP since the date the plan was last approved by our

shareholders at our 2014 annual meeting is 15,000,000 shares. This number was increased by 6,524,677 shares to a total of 21,524,677shares due to the equitable adjustments made to the share reserve in connection with the reclassification of the Company’s common stock in June 2014 to create two tracking stocks and the spin-off of Black Knight, Inc. in September 2017.

If the amendment and restatement of the ESPP is approved by our shareholders, this number of authorized shares would be increased by 12,000,000 to 33,524,677 shares.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, spin-off, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, share exchange, extraordinary dividend, or any change in the corporate structure affecting our common stock, such adjustment will be made to the number and kind of shares that may be purchased or delivered as matching shares pursuant to the ESPP, as may be determined to be appropriate and equitable by the committee to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

All shares of stock delivered to participants under the ESPP are purchased on the open market.

Eligibility and Participation

Eligible employees include all current employees of FNF and participating subsidiaries who were participants when the ESPP was approved by our shareholders at our 2014 annual meeting. Eligible employees also include all other employees of FNF and participating subsidiaries who are at least 18 years old and have completed 90 days of employment with FNF, a participating subsidiary or certain previously affiliated entities if the employee commenced employment with FNF within one year after cessation of employment with the previously affiliated entity, as well as employees who were employed by an organization that is part of a corporate transaction if (1) such corporate transaction documents provide for such immediate eligibility or (2) the ESPP administrative committee so decides. Employment described in the preceding sentence is referred to in the ESPP and this prospectus as Qualifying Employment. Based on our current number of employees, it is estimated that approximately 26,177 employees were eligible to participate in the ESPP as of April 18, 2022.

Payroll Deductions

Participants may elect to contribute an amount between 3% and 15% of their base salary (or, for employees primarily compensated on a commission basis, commission earnings up to $10,000 per month) into the ESPP through payroll deduction. The amount of each employee’s contribution will be credited to his or her account. Participants may increase or decrease their rate of payroll deduction or suspend their participation in the ESPP at any time. No interest or earnings are credited on participant accounts.

Matching Contributions

At the end of each calendar quarter, each participant who has been continuously employed by FNF or a participating subsidiary for the preceding year receives a matching credit that is then used to calculate the number of matching shares of our common stock that will be deposited into the participant’s share account.[The number of shares deposited is determined by dividing the amount of the matching credit by the closing price of a share of our common stock on the Wednesday preceding the date the participant receives the matching shares in the month after the calendar quarter ends. For most employees, matching credits are equal to one-third of the amount contributed by the employee during the quarter that is one year earlier than the quarter for which the matching credit is made. For officers of FNF and its participating subsidiaries and for employees

who have completed at least ten consecutive years of Qualifying Employment, the matching credit is equal to one-half of the amount contributed by the employee during the quarter that is one year earlier than the quarter for which the matching credit is made. For purposes of the ESPP, unless determined otherwise by the ESPP administrative committee, the term officer means chief executive officer, president, executive vice president, senior vice president, vice president, or assistant vice president.

Purchase of Stock

As soon as administratively practicable following the close of each payroll period (the purchase date), the amount credited to a participant’s account will be transferred to a broker and used to purchase shares of FNF common stock on the open market. The purchase price of the shares is not discounted or subsidized by FNF. Any balance remaining after the purchase will be carried forward and used to purchase additional shares of FNF common stock as of the next purchase date.

Shares purchased by participants under the ESPP will be posted as soon as practicable after each purchase date to a share account established on behalf and in the name of each participant by the broker.

Shares delivered to participants with respect to any matching credits are purchased by FNF on the open market and then deposited into participant’s share accounts, with the number of shares deposited determined as described in the matching contributions discussion above.

Dividends on shares held in a participant’s share account are credited to the participant’s share account and used to purchase additional shares of our common stock as of the next purchase date, unless the participant elects to receive the dividends in cash.

Termination of Employment

Upon a participant’s termination of employment, the participant will cease to be a participant in the ESPP. Any cash contributed to the ESPP for the participant that has not been used to purchase shares before the date of termination will be transferred to the participant’s share account. The broker will continue to maintain the participant’s share account on behalf of the participant; however, the participant’s share account will cease to be administered under or have any other affiliation with the ESPP. As of the date of the participant’s termination of employment, the participant will be required to pay for any and all expenses and costs related to his or her share account.

Plan Benefits

Except as described below, the benefits or amounts that might be received by employees in the future under the ESPP are not determinable because the benefits depend upon, among other factors, the degree of participation by employees and the amount that each participating employee chooses to contribute. If the amendment and restatement of the ESPP is approved by shareholders, the matching feature in the ESPP would apply to participant contributions made in calendar quarters ending June 30, 2021 (with the match occurring in July 2022), September 30, 2021 (with the match occurring in October 2022), December 31, 2021 (with the match occurring in January 2023), and March 31, 2022 (with the match occurring in April 2023).

The table below shows the aggregate amount of such matching contributions that would be made to the individuals and groups noted in the table, based on participant contributions that were made during the calendar quarters described in the preceding sentence (assuming each participating employee satisfies the employment requirements in the plan). We estimated the number of shares that could be purchased with the matching contributions based on the closing price of a share of FNF common stock on April 18, 2022, which was $41.99. The actual number of shares purchased would depend on the price of a share of our common stock on the date the shares are purchased. Additional future matching contributions for calendar quarters beginning on or after April 1, 2022 are not determinable at this time, since the amount of the matching contribution depends on the total contributions made by the participants during the relevant calendar quarter. We have assumed for purposes of the following information that all participating employees would remain employed through the date the match would be made and, thus, would be eligible to receive the match.

PLAN BENEFITS TABLE

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief description of the principal federal income tax consequences relating to participation in the ESPP. This summary is based on FNF’s understanding of present federal income tax law and regulations. The summary does not purport to be complete or applicable to every specific situation.

Participant contributions to the ESPP will be made through payroll deductions on an after-tax basis. When a company matching contribution of shares is credited to a participant’s share account, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the value of the shares at that time. We will be required to report and withhold income and employment taxes (and pay our share of employment taxes) with respect to the ordinary income recognized by the participant. We are entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant.

The participant will acquire a basis in the shares equal to the purchase price in the case of purchases made with participant contributions, and equal to the amount of income recognized with respect to matching shares. Upon the participant’s subsequent sale or disposition of shares purchased under the ESPP, the participant will recognize gain if the amount realized exceeds the participant’s basis in the shares or loss if the amount realized is less than the participant’s basis. The gain or loss will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain depending on whether the shares were held for more than one year.

A participant will also be taxed on any dividends paid on shares purchased under the ESPP. Dividends paid in connection with such shares will be taxed as dividend income.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHARESHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE FNF AMENDED AND RESTATED 2013 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ERNST & YOUNG LLP

Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of Ernst & Young LLP (EY) to our shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Even if the selection is ratified, our audit committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. If our shareholders do not ratify the audit committee’s selection, the audit committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.

In choosing our independent registered public accounting firm, our audit committee conducts a comprehensive review of the qualifications of those individuals who will lead and serve on the engagement team, the quality control procedures the firm has established, and any issue raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm. The review also includes matters required to be considered under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules on “Auditor Independence,” including the nature and extent of non-audit services to ensure that they will not impair the independence of the accountants.

Representatives of EY are expected to be present at the annual meeting. These representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The audit committee has appointed EY to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 2022 fiscal year. EY has continuously acted as our independent registered public accounting firm since August 2, 2017. For services rendered to us during or in connection with our years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we were billed the following fees by EY:

Audit Fees. Audit fees consisted principally of fees for the audits, registration statements and other filings related to the Company’s 2021 and 2020 financial statements, and audits of the Company’s subsidiaries required for regulatory reporting purposes, including billings for out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees in 2021 and 2020 consisted principally of fees for Service Organization Control Reports.

Tax Fees. Tax fees for 2021 and 2020 consisted principally of fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

All Other Fees. All other fees relate primarily to services provided for regulatory inspection readiness assessments.

APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTANTS’ SERVICES

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by EY is approved in advance by the audit committee, including the proposed fees for such work. Our pre-approval policy provides that, unless a type of service to be provided by EY has been generally pre-approved by the audit committee, it will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. In addition, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved maximum fee amounts also require pre-approval by the audit committee. Our pre-approval policy provides that specific pre-approval authority is delegated to our audit committee chairman, provided that the estimated fee for the proposed service does not exceed a pre- approved maximum amount set by the committee. Our audit committee chairman must report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

AGREEMENTS WITH CANNAE

On November 17, 2017 we completed the split-off, which we refer to as the Split-Off, of our former wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Holdings, Inc., or Cannae, which consists of the businesses, assets and liabilities formerly attributed to our FNF Ventures Group, or FNF Group, including Ceridian Holding, LLC, American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC and T-System Holding LLC. As a result of the Split-Off, FNF and Cannae operate separately. In connection with the Split-Off, our title insurance underwriters Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company contributed an aggregate of $100 million to Cannae in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock. As of December 31, 2021, these shares represented approximately 6.2% of Cannae’s outstanding shares. In order to maintain the tax-free treatment of the November 17, 2017 split-off of Cannae Holdings, Inc. we are required to dispose of these shares by November 17, 2022.

In addition, we are subject to certain restrictions regarding voting of our Cannae shares described under “Voting Agreement” below.

We and Cannae have overlapping executive officers and directors. William P. Foley, II, our non-executive Chairman, also serves as non-executive Chairman and is a director of Cannae; and Michael L. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, serves as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Cannae. In addition, Richard N. Massey, who served on our board until January 9, 2021, serves on the board of directors of Cannae and has served as Chief Executive Officer of Cannae since November 15, 2019. In order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between us and Cannae and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, we have entered into certain agreements with Cannae, the terms of which are summarized below.

VOTING AGREEMENT

In connection with the Split-Off and the issuance of the FNF Cannae shares, we entered into a voting agreement with Cannae (the voting agreement), pursuant to which we have agreed to cause our Cannae shares to be counted as present at any meeting of the stockholders of Cannae for the purpose of establishing a quorum. Additionally, under the voting agreement, we agreed to vote all of our Cannae shares in the same manner as, and in the same proportion to, all shares voted by holders of Cannae common stock (other than FNF and our subsidiaries) until the date on which FNF and our subsidiaries no longer beneficially own shares of Cannae common stock. In addition, we will not deposit any of our Cannae shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any of our Cannae shares, or take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying us from performing any of our obligations under the voting agreement.

TAX MATTERS AGREEMENT

We have also entered into a tax matters agreement with Cannae that governs our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters. Under the tax matters agreement, the parties agreed to indemnify one another for certain agreed specified losses incurred by the other.

CORPORATE SERVICES AGREEMENT

We entered into a corporate services agreement with Cannae (the corporate services agreement) pursuant to which we provide Cannae with certain specified services, including insurance administration and risk management; other services typically performed by our legal, tax, human resources, accounting and internal audit departments; and such other similar services that Cannae may from time-to-time request or require. The corporate services agreement was to continue in effect until the earlier of (i) the date on which the corporate services agreement is terminated by mutual agreement of Cannae and FNF and (ii) the third anniversary of the date on which the corporate services agreement was entered into. On October 7, 2020, we entered into an Extension of Corporate Services Agreement (the Extension) with Cannae that extended the corporate services agreement for two years until November 17, 2022.

During the initial three-years, we provided these corporate services at no cost, other than reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with providing such services to Cannae. Under the Extension, FNF will provide certain of the corporate services at a standard allocated cost plus 10%. The Extension will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless FNF and Cannae mutually agree to terminate the agreement. Pursuant to the Extension, we received $1.3 million from Cannae in consideration of services provided by us under the corporate services agreement during 2021.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

FNF’s title insurance underwriter subsidiaries that own Cannae shares (the Registration Rights Agreements parties) entered into registration rights agreements with Cannae. The registration rights agreements provide the Registration Rights Agreements parties, and their permitted transferees, with the right to require Cannae, at its expense, to register shares of Cannae common stock that the Registration Rights Agreements parties hold. The registration rights agreement also includes certain demand rights, shelf-registration obligations and piggy-back registration rights that could require Cannae to take certain actions to register its securities if requested. The agreements also provide that Cannae will pay certain expenses of the electing holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act.

REVOLVER NOTE

We entered into a revolver note with Cannae, which allows Cannae to borrow revolving loans from us from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for investment purposes and working capital needs. The revolving loans accrue interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and mature on the five-year anniversary of the date of the revolver note. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. As of December 31, 2021, there was no outstanding balance under the revolver note.

SALE OF CORPORATE OFFICE

We paid $312,000 of rent in 2021 to Cannae with respect to our continued use of office space Cannae’s corporate headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada.

OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 2021, we paid, in the ordinary course of business, amounts to certain companies owned in whole or part by Mr. Foley including: $357,364 to Rock Creek Cattle Company, Ltd. and affiliated companies related primarily to hosting Company events, $476,959 to Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, LLC related primarily to the purchase of season tickets and other tickets used for client entertainment and employee recognition, $543,602 to Foley Family Wines for wine purchases related to employee recognitions, and $178,667 to Mr. Foley’s other affiliated companies primarily for travel to and hosting Company events. We believe the amounts charged to us in the foregoing transactions were fair and reasonable and represent market rates that would be charged to unaffiliated third-party customers for the same types of services. We believe that FNF receives intangible business benefits as a result of these activities as they foster increased loyalty to the Company.

On November 1, 2019, we entered into a services agreement with Trasimene Capital Management, LLC (Trasimene) pursuant to which Trasimene will provide certain advisory services to us, including but not limited to ongoing tax and finance services and investment advisory services with respect to potential acquisitions, divestitures and other corporate transactions. In consideration of the services provided by Trasimene to FNF, we will pay Trasimene a mutually agreed upon fee in connection with any acquisitions, divestitures, financings or liquidity events, which fee shall be consistent with market rates. In 2021, we accrued expenses of $450,000 under the services agreement related to the offering of our 3.20% Senior Notes due 2051. Mr. Foley is the Managing Member and a Senior Managing Director and holds a controlling interest in Trasimene. Our former director Richard N. Massey is a Senior Managing Director and holds an ownership interest in Trasimene.

On December 7, 2020, our wholly-owned subsidiaries Fidelity National Title Insurance Company (FNTIC), Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (Commonwealth Title), Chicago Title Insurance Company (Chicago Title) and F&G (collectively, the FTAC II Subscribers), entered into common stock subscription agreements with Paysafe and FTAC II to purchase in the aggregate $500 million (the Paysafe Purchase Price) of common shares, par value $0.001 per share, of Paysafe at a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the PIPE Investment). On March 30, 2021, FTAC II merged with Paysafe Ltd., an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda and a leading integrated payments platform (the FTAC II Paysafe Merger), in accordance with the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020. The combined company operates as Paysafe and is traded on the NYSE under the symbol PSFE. The FTAC II Paysafe Merger was funded with the cash held in trust at FTAC II, forward purchase commitments, private investment in public equity (PIPE) commitments and equity of Paysafe.

On March 30, 2021, the FTAC II Subscribers funded the Paysafe Purchase Price and received 50 million common shares of Paysafe. As of December 31, we held approximately 6.2% of the outstanding common shares of Paysafe with a fair value of $176 million. In connection with the PIPE Investment, we received a fee of 1.6% of the Paysafe Purchase Price in accordance with the agreement and plan of merger dated December 7, 2020.

On January 25, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiaries FNTIC, Commonwealth Title and Chicago Title (collectively, the FTAC Subscribers) entered into common stock subscription agreements (the FTAC Subscription Agreements) with Alight (f/k/a Acrobat Holdings, Inc.) and FTAC to purchase in the aggregate $150 million (the Alight Purchase Price) of Class A Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Alight at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. On June 29, 2021, we funded the Alight Purchase Price. Additionally, Alight paid the FTAC Subscribers a fee of 2.5% of the Alight Purchase Price upon closing of the transactions in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement dated January 25, 2021, as amended and restated April 29, 2021, by and among FTAC, Alight and other parties thereto. On July 2, 2021, FTAC merged with Alight. The combined company operates as Alight, Inc. and is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ALIT.” As of December 31, we held approximately 2.7% of the outstanding common shares of Alight with a fair value of $162 million.

Sara Bennett, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Quirk, is an attorney who is employed by a subsidiary of the Company as underwriting counsel. In 2021, Ms. Bennett’s gross earnings were $751,000, which is consistent with other employees holding similar titles at the Company. She also received health and other benefits customarily provided to similarly situated employees.

Our audit committee has reviewed and approved each of the transactions described above in accordance with the terms of our Code of Conduct related to the approval of related party transactions, which are described below.

REVIEW, APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Pursuant to our codes of ethics, a “conflict of interest” occurs when an individual’s private interest interferes or appears to interfere with our interests, and can arise when a director, officer or employee takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Anything that would present a conflict for a director, officer or employee would also likely present a conflict if it were related to a member of his or her family. Our code of ethics states that clear conflict of interest situations involving directors, executive officers and other employees who occupy supervisory positions or who have discretionary authority in dealing with any third party specified below may include the following:

It is our policy to review all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors or executive officers (or their immediate family members) are participants to determine whether the director or officer in question has or may have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Chief Compliance Officer, together with our legal staff, is primarily responsible for developing and implementing procedures to obtain the necessary information from our directors and officers regarding transactions to/from related persons. Any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest must be discussed promptly with our Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer, together with our legal staff, then reviews the transaction or relationship, and considers the material terms of the transaction or relationship, including the importance of the transaction or relationship to us, the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction or relationship, whether the transaction or relationship would likely impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest, and any other factors such officer deems appropriate. After reviewing the facts and circumstances of each transaction, the Chief Compliance Officer, with assistance from the legal staff, determines whether the director or officer in question (or their immediate family member) has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction and whether to approve the transaction in question.

With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, our codes of ethics require that each such officer must:

In the case of any material transactions or relationships involving our Chief Financial Officer or our Chief Accounting Officer, the General Counsel must submit a list of any approved material transactions semiannually to the audit committee for its review.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, certain transactions in which we are or will be a participant and in which our directors, executive officers, certain shareholders and certain other related persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest are required to be disclosed in this related person transactions section of our proxy statement. In addition to the procedures above, our audit committee reviews and approves or ratifies any such transactions that are required to be disclosed. The committee makes these decisions based on its consideration of all relevant factors. The review may be before or after the commencement of the transaction. If a transaction is reviewed and not approved or ratified, the committee may recommend a course of action to be taken.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

Any proposal that a shareholder wishes to be considered for inclusion in the proxy and proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2023, including submissions of shareholder director nominations in accordance with the proxy access procedures set forth in our bylaws, must be received by the Company no later than December 29, 2022. Any other proposal or director nomination that a shareholder wishes to bring before the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders without inclusion of such matter in the Company’s proxy materials must also be received by the Company no later than December 29, 2022. All proposals and nominations must comply with the applicable requirements or conditions established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company’s bylaws, which require among other things, certain information to be provided in connection with the submission of shareholder proposals.
