Capital Title Stockholders Approve Merger with LandAmerica.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Capital Title Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CTGI) -- named for a second consecutive year in FORTUNE'S 100 Fastest Growing Companies in America in 2005 -- is a national provider of title, appraisal and other transaction services to the real estate and mortgage lending industries. Capital Title announced today that the proposed merger with LandAmerica Financial Group Inc. (NYSE:LFG) was approved at a special meeting of its stockholders held today in Phoenix.

Of the 30,469,138 shares of Capital Title's common stock outstanding as of the record date for the stockholders' meeting, 21,214,555 (approximately 70 percent) were cast in favor of the merger. Of the shares voted, 99 percent approved the merger.

"While this merger will mark the end of Capital Title as an independent company, our legacy of disciplined, focused growth in the title industry will continue as part of LandAmerica, a leading provider of real estate transaction services," said Donald R. Head, chairman, president and CEO of Capital Title Group Inc.

To complete the merger, the parties must still obtain necessary state regulatory approvals and satisfy or waive all other closing conditions under the merger agreement. It is anticipated that the merger will be completed in the third quarter of 2006.

As part of the merger, Capital Title will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LandAmerica Financial Group Inc. LandAmerica has agreed to acquire 100 percent of Capital Title's common stock for an aggregate consideration of approximately $251 million, 80 percent of which will be paid in cash and 20 percent in LandAmerica common stock. The purchase price represents a value of approximately $8.00 per share to Capital Title's equity security holders.
