Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
    
On February 3, 2016, the Board of Directors of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the Company’s bylaws to implement a “proxy access” procedure for stockholder director nominations.  Section 3.1 of the amended and restated bylaws permits a stockholder, or a group of up to 25 stockholders, to include in the Company’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to two individuals or 20% of the board, whichever is greater; provided that:
 
·                  the nominating stockholder(s) own a number of shares representing 3% or more of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors;
 
·                  the nominating stockholder(s) have owned that number of shares continuously for at least three years; and
 
·                  the nominating stockholder(s) and their director nominee(s) otherwise satisfy the requirements of Section 3.1 of the amended and restated bylaws.
 
The amended and restated bylaws are effective immediately.
 
The Board of Directors has adopted these amendments in response to the stockholders’ vote in favor of proxy access at its annual meeting of stockholders held in June 2015. The adoption reflects the Board’s commitment to corporate governance practices that are consistent with the best interests of our stockholders.
 
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws, as adopted on February 3, 2016, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
