Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Colleen Haley, Vice President and Assistant Corporate Secretary of Fidelity National Financial, and I want to welcome you to our annual shareholders' meeting. Joining me are our Chief Executive Officer, Mike Nolan, our Chief Financial Officer, Tony Park, and our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, Mike Gravelle. Sean Devine of Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered accounting firm, has also joined us and is available to respond to questions. If any shareholder wishes to ask a question regarding the matters presented, please type your question in the question box on the meeting page. Questions must be relevant to the specific business being conducted at this meeting or directed to matters of corporate governance in order to be considered for discussion. Each shareholder will be limited to two questions. We will address appropriate questions at the end of the meeting. If we are unable to get to all questions, or if you have a question that is not relevant to the business of this meeting, you may still ask your question through our investor relations site at investor.fnf.com. We have a few items to cover today, including the four proposals that are described in the proxy statement. Our first order of business today is the report from our Inspector of Elections, Michael Barbera, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions. Mr. Barbera is responsible for certifying and counting all shareholder votes. Mr. Barbera, please report on the number of shares represented at this meeting. Ms. Haley, I wish to report that out of the total of 269,157,540 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at this meeting, 240,332,515 shares or 89.29% are represented in person or by proxy. Thank you. The number of shares represented at today's meeting exceeds the number required for a quorum. I declare this meeting properly convened for the purpose of transacting business as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, dated April 29th, 2026. This meeting is called to order. I will now move to the formal business of the meeting. The board fixed April 13th, 2026, as the record date for determining shareholders entitled to vote at this meeting. The purposes of the meeting are stated in a notice of annual meeting and related proxy statement mailed to shareholders on April 29th, 2026. The polls are officially open for voting on the proposals set forth in the proxy statement. The polls will remain open until all proposals have been presented. At that time, I will declare the polls closed. Before the close of this meeting, the Inspector of Elections will complete and report on the vote count. If there is any shareholder who has not voted and wishes to do so, please submit your vote by following the instructions on the meeting website. The first item of business is to elect four Class III directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders, or in each case, until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The board of directors has nominated William P. Foley, II, Douglas K. Ammerman, Thomas M. Hagerty, and Peter O'Shea Jr. as Class III directors. Information about each of the nominees can be found in the proxy statement. The company has not received notice of any other nomination by a shareholder, as is required in its bylaws. I declare the nominations for directors closed. The second item of business is a proposal to approve the company's amended and restated articles of incorporation to implement annual elections of directors. The third item of business is a proposal to approve a non-binding resolution on the compensation paid to our named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement. The fourth item of business is a proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year. Information about each of the proposals is contained in the proxy statement. The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote for the election of all directors listed in Proposal 1 and for Proposals 2, 3, and 4. The polls for this meeting are now closed. I will now call on the Inspector of Elections to report on the voting results. Mr. Barbera? The voting results are as follows. Each of the four nominees for director has received the majority of the votes cast for the election of directors. A majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposal to approve the amended and restated articles of incorporation to implement annual elections of all directors were cast in favor of the proposal. A majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting concerning the non-binding resolution to approve the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers were cast in favor of the proposal. A majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting concerning the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2026 fiscal year were cast in favor of the proposal. Thank you, Mr. Barbera. William P. Foley, II, Douglas K. Ammerman, Thomas M. Hagerty, and Peter O. Shea, Jr. have been elected as Class III directors, each to serve a three-year term until the 2029 annual meeting of shareholders or until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Proposals 2, 3, and 4 have been approved by the shareholders of the company. The final vote counts will be disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days. We will furnish a copy of this report to any shareholder who requests it when it becomes available. There being no further business, this meeting is adjourned. We will now respond to any questions from the shareholders that were submitted during the meeting. The first question I will direct to Mike Nolan. What does management intend to do with the retained ownership of F&G Annuities & Life? Thanks, Colleen. As we've said in the past, the board is very pleased with the performance and growth of F&G under its ownership and our ownership and looks forward to its continued growth and success as part of the FNF family of companies. Thank you, Mike. There being no further questions, our session has concluded. Thank you for attending Fidelity National Financial's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Have a wonderful day.
