DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- F&G Annuities & Life, Inc. ("F&G" or "the Company"), an operating segment of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FNF) ("FNF") and a leading provider of annuity and life insurance products, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the initiation of a dividend program pursuant to which the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock at an initial aggregate amount of approximately $100 million per year, commencing in early 2023.

F&G intends to pay regular quarterly dividends with all future dividend payments subject to quarterly review and approval by its Board of Directors and any required regulatory approvals, based on the Company's view of the prevailing and prospective macroeconomic conditions, regulatory landscape and business performance. The Company will announce the record date and payment date for each future dividend following completion of the relevant fiscal quarter and expects future dividends to be paid in the third month of each subsequent quarter.

Chris Blunt, President and Chief Executive Officer of F&G stated, "At this time, we are on track to complete the pro rata distribution of approximately 15% of the shares of common stock of F&G to FNF shareholders and F&G's listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "FG" during the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary approvals.  Our Board's decision to initiate a dividend program reflects our confidence in F&G's operating performance, as well as our commitment to drive shareholder value by returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet to support the growth of our business. Going forward, we believe that we have reached an inflection point which positions investors to capitalize on the cash flow potential of our profitable inforce book and the upside from our multi-channel new business platform."
