Under the terms of the merger agreement, FNF intends to commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of O'Charley's that it does not currently own on or about February 24, 2012 for $9.85 per share in cash.  The initial tender is expected to expire on April 2, 2012, and to close shortly thereafter, assuming that shares that, combined with FNF's existing 9.5% ownership stake, represent more than a majority of the outstanding shares of O'Charley's are properly tendered and not withdrawn.  Closing of the tender is also contingent on customary closing conditions, including the expiration of the HSR waiting period.  The back-end, cash-out merger under Tennessee law is expected to take place no earlier than May 2, 2012, and is also subject to customary closing conditions, including the successful completion of the tender offer.
