F&G
On June 1, 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of F&G for approximately $2.7 billion. 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 cancelled 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2020.

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 has been allocated to F&G's assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on our best estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed represent a preliminary allocation as our evaluation of facts and circumstances available as of June 1, 2020 is ongoing. 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 will not be retrospectively adjusted for any provisional amount changes that occur in subsequent periods. Rather, we will recognize any provisional adjustments as we obtain information not available as of the completion of this preliminary fair value calculation as determined within the measurement period. We will also be required to record, in the same period as the financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of any change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (dollars in millions):

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we adjusted the provisional amounts as of June 1, 2020 that were recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of the acquisition date. Such adjustments resulted in an increase in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $30 million, an increase in Goodwill of approximately $6 million, a decrease in Other intangible assets of approximately $37 million, an increase in Deferred tax asset of approximately $4 million, and various other, individually immaterial items. The related amortization and expense not previously recognized related to these adjustments is immaterial for the one month period ended June 30, 2020.

elimination of advisory fees F&G paid to FNF

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
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
