Fidelity Shareholders OK Chicago Title Deal

Shareholders of Irvine-based Fidelity National Financial Inc. approved the company’s merger with Chicago Title Corp. Chicago Title shareholders will meet Friday to vote on the deal, which would create the largest title insurance company. The companies hope to close the deal by the end of March.

Last month, the Federal Trade Commission approved Fidelity National’s proposed acquisition of Chicago Title, provided the companies agree to make some divestitures. Fidelity’s stock was unchanged Wednesday at $13 a share. Chicago shares rose 19 cents to $45.13. Both trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
