F&G
On June 1, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of F&G for approximately $2.7 billion pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 7, 2020, as amended (the "Merger Agreement"). In connection with the Merger, we issued approximately 24 million shares of FNF common stock and paid approximately $1.8 billion in cash to former holders of F&G ordinary and preferred shares. On August 26, 2020, we issued an additional 1 million shares of FNF common stock and paid approximately $100 million in cash to Kingfishers, LP., Kingstown Partners Master, LTD., Kingstown Partners II, LP., Kingstown 1740 Fund, LP. and Ktown, LP. (collectively the "Kingstown Dissenters"), who are former owners of F&G common stock. For more information related to the Kingstown Dissenters, refer to Note H Commitments and Contingencies. At closing, all outstanding shares of F&G common stock, excluding shares associated with the liability to former owners, were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Additionally, each outstanding F&G Option and F&G Phantom unit was canceled and converted into options to purchase FNF common stock and phantom units denominated in FNF common stock, and each outstanding warrant to purchase F&G common stock was converted into the right to purchase and receive upon exercise $8.18 in cash and .0833 shares of FNF common stock. At closing, our subsidiaries' ownership of F&G common and preferred shares was converted into approximately 7 million shares of FNF common stock, which are reflected as treasury shares in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

The initial purchase price is as follows (in millions):
Cash paid for outstanding F&G shares$1,903 
Less: Cash Acquired827 
Net cash paid for F&G1,076 
Value of FNF share consideration806 
Value of outstanding converted equity awards attributed to services already rendered28 
Total net consideration paid$1,910 
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805").The purchase price was allocated to F&G's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the acquisition date. Goodwill has been recorded based on the amount that the purchase price exceeds
the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill consists primarily of intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, except for $16 million related to a prior F&G transaction.
Pursuant to Topic 805, the financial statements were not retrospectively adjusted for any provisional amount changes that occurred during the measurement period. Rather, we recognized provisional adjustments as we obtained information not available as of the completion of the preliminary fair value calculation. We also recorded, in the same period as the financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, as a result of any changes to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the fair value amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (dollars in millions):

We completed our assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed within the one-year period from the date of acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded measurement period adjustments as of the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. Such adjustments resulted in a decrease in Reinsurance recoverable of approximately $289 million, an increase in Other intangible assets of approximately $61 million, a decrease in Future policy benefits of $227 million and various other, individually immaterial items. There was no material impact on Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a result of the measurement period adjustments recorded.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro-forma Financial Results
F&G's financial results since the acquisition date are reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements. F&G's revenues and net earnings for the period from June 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 of $1,233 million and $136 million, respectively, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2020. For comparative purposes, selected unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations of FNF for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are presented below. Unaudited pro-forma results presented assume the consolidation of F&G occurred as of January 1, 2019.

Net earnings attributable to FNF common shareholders1,233 1,419 
Amounts reflect certain pro forma adjustments to revenue and net earnings that were directly attributable to the acquisition, and for the elimination of historical activity between FNF and F&G prior to the acquisition. These adjustments include the following:

elimination of valuation changes on FNF's investment in F&G common and preferred shares prior to the acquisition;
elimination of dividends received by FNF related to its holdings of F&G's common and preferred shares prior to the acquisition;
elimination of advisory fees F&G paid to FNF;
elimination of transaction costs paid by F&G;
adjustment to record interest expense related to financing associated with the acquisition;
adjustment to reflect the elimination of historical amortization of F&G intangibles and the additional amortization of F&G intangibles measured at fair value as of the acquisition date; and
adjustment to reflect the prospective reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive earnings of the unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities to a premium, which will be amortized into income based on the expected life of the investment securities.
