(“FNF”) of its disapproval of FNF’s application to acquire control of Stewart Title Insurance Company, a New York domiciled title insurance company that is licensed only in the State of New York. Receipt of approval from the NYDFS is a condition to closing FNF’s pending acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Stewart Information Services Corporation (“Stewart”). FNF and Stewart are evaluating the appropriate course of action in light of the NYDFS’ determination, which may include a discussion with the NYDFS to better understand its concerns and respond to the letter. To date, we have received 28 Form E state regulatory approvals relating to the Acquisition. FNF continues to work through the regulatory process for the Acquisition and is engaged in the Second Request related to the FTC's HSR regulatory review of the Acquisition.
