		PRESS RELEASE

Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc.
Announce the Signing of a Definitive Merger Agreement

     Jacksonville, Fla. and Richmond, VA — (November 7, 2008) — Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF) and LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE:LFG) today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which FNF will acquire LFG. Under the terms of the merger agreement, LFG shareholders will receive 0.993 shares of FNF common stock for each share of LFG common stock.

     The transaction has been structured to reduce the combined debt of LFG and FNF by approximately $250 million prior to the closing of the merger agreement. This will be accomplished by FNF’s title insurance subsidiaries providing liquidity equal to the statutory book value of LFG’s two primary title insurance subsidiaries, Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company (“Commonwealth”) and Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation (“Lawyers”), immediately prior to the closing of the merger agreement. These proceeds will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness under LFG’s revolving credit facility and private placement senior notes and, potentially, existing FNF debt. As a result, FNF anticipates no material change from its current debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 30%.

     The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including LFG shareholder approval, antitrust and state regulatory approvals, the divestiture of Centennial Bank by LFG and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The merger agreement also provides a due diligence contingency for FNF that expires on November 21, 2008, during which time FNF will conduct due diligence procedures on LFG’s operations and financial condition. Theodore L. Chandler, Jr., LFG’s Chairman and CEO, will join the FNF Board of Directors as Vice Chairman after the closing of the transaction.

     In connection with the signing of the merger agreement, Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Chicago Title”), a subsidiary of FNF, has agreed to provide a $30 million stand-by secured credit facility as a means of potential additional liquidity for LFG. The credit facility cannot be drawn upon until the expiration of FNF’s due diligence contingency and will bear interest at a rate

of LIBOR + 400 basis points. Any advancement under this facility will be secured by approximately $155 million par value of auction rate securities held by LFG.

     “We are very excited to join forces with LandAmerica,” said FNF Chairman William P. Foley, II. “We have always had great respect for LFG and we are confident that the combination of our two companies will create the strongest and most financially sound title insurer in the country, with an unrivaled geographic and commercial footprint. Our preliminary estimate, which must be confirmed during our due diligence period, is that we will realize at least $150 million in operational cost synergies throughout the combined operations, including the areas of corporate and administrative overhead, direct and agency operations and claims management and processing. This merger is a tremendous opportunity for FNF and one that we are confident will create significant long-term value for our shareholders.”

     “The unprecedented credit freeze and depressed real estate market have negatively impacted our business to the point that it has become increasingly difficult for LandAmerica to remain an independent public company,” said LFG Chairman and CEO Theodore L. Chandler, Jr. “We are pleased to join the FNF family of companies and believe that this combination is in the best interest of our shareholders, customers and employees. We look forward to the opportunity to bring the strength of our combined capabilities to the marketplace.”

     Based on the Demotech Performance of Title Insurance Companies 2008 Edition, the combined company had pro forma 2007 market share of 46.3 percent. The pro forma combined investment portfolio and reserve for claim losses were approximately $5.5 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2008. Pro forma revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $5.3 billion.
