August 9, 2004
SANTA ANA, Calif., /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The First American Corporation has signed a new $500 million syndicated credit facility with JPMorgan Chase. The new, five year revolving credit line was established Aug. 4, 2004, replacing an existing $200 million credit facility scheduled to expire in 2006.

"This credit facility provides First American with greater operating flexibility, and makes resources available to take advantage of possible acquisitions and other opportunities," said Parker S. Kennedy, chairman and chief executive officer of The First American Corporation. "Our lending partners continue to demonstrate the utmost confidence in the future of our business, and we truly appreciate their support."
