The First American Corporation Announces New Corporate Name for Its Information Solutions Group

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The First American Corporation (NYSE: FAF), America's largest provider of business information, announced today that it has selected the name "CoreLogic" as the new corporate name for its Information Solutions Group.

As previously announced, First American will split its Information Solutions Group (CoreLogic) and Financial Services Group into two separate, publicly traded companies. The separation is targeted to close on June 1, 2010. CoreLogic will trade under the symbol CLGX.

At the time of the separation, First American Financial Corporation, which will hold the Financial Services Group, will adopt the "FAF" ticker symbol for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

"We selected the CoreLogic name from our current portfolio of brands as a unifying description of the broad data, analytics and business information services we provide to support the core processes of our customers," said Anand Nallathambi, president and chief executive officer of CoreLogic.

The group of businesses that will come to market under the new CoreLogic brand is significantly larger and more diverse than the company that is known today as First American CoreLogic. The new CoreLogic encompasses more than 20 different business lines in the areas of data, analytics and outsourcing services, as well as the consumer credit and information companies that were acquired with First Advantage.  CoreLogic is expected to be a $2 billion revenue company with more than 10,000 employees worldwide and is a market leader in the areas of data, analytics and business information services that reduce risk, enhance transparency and enable businesses and governments to make critical business decisions.

CoreLogic will unveil other elements of its new corporate identity on May 3, 2010, at www.corelogic.com. SALT, a San Francisco-based brand consulting firm, assisted First American in the CoreLogic name selection and creative brand development.
