Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on November 26, 2008, LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. ("LFG") and LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services, Inc. ("LES" and, together with LFG and certain other debtor-affiliates, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the
            United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On September 9, 2009, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court a form of proposed joint plan of liquidation (as may be amended, the "Plan") and a corresponding form of proposed disclosure statement (as may be amended, the "Disclosure Statement").  Copies of the Disclosure Statement and the Plan as filed with the
            Bankruptcy Court are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.  The Plan contemplates, among other terms, for the cancellation of LFG's common stock upon the effective date of the Plan.  The holders of LFG common stock are not expected to participate in any future distribution of cash or other property from LFG's estate.
The hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement and solicitation procedures is scheduled for October 13, 2009, as may be adjourned by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time. The deadline to object to the adequacy of the Disclosure Statement is October 5, 2009.
Nothing in the Plan or Disclosure Statement should be construed as constituting a solicitation of acceptances of the Plan unless and until the Disclosure Statement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and distributed to holders of claims and interests as and to the extent required by Bankruptcy Code section 1125. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should
            it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. There can be no assurance that the Disclosure Statement will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court, that the Plan will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or, if confirmed, that the Plan shall become effective.
