Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation of Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF” or the “Company”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on June 13, 2018. The sole purpose of the changes to the Certificate of Incorporation was to remove provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation relating to the FNF Group and FNFV Group tracking stock structure. As a result, FNF’s common stock will no longer include the FNF Group common stock and FNFV Group common stock, and will be reclassified solely to consist of one class of common stock referred to as “Common Stock”. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
