Item 8.01. Other Events

On October 9, 2006, FNF announced the receipt of an IRS private letter ruling with respect to the tax treatment of the spin-off of FNT shares by FNF as well as the merger of FNF and FIS. FNF also announced that the dividend payment and record dates for its spin-off of FNT had been declared, subject to certain conditions. The text of the release is attached as exhibit 99.1. In addition to the IRS ruling, as described in the proxy statement/prospectus for the merger, as a condition to the merger FNF must receive a favorable opinion of its tax advisor covering certain issues that as a matter of policy the IRS does not address in private letter rulings relating to spin-offs.
