## Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 29, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of First American Financial Corporation (the "Company") and Dennis J. Gilmore, the Executive Chairman of the Board, mutually agreed to the cancellation (the "RSU Cancellation") of the outstanding and unvested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units previously granted on June 20, 2025, to Mr. Gilmore. At the time of the RSU Cancellation, all of the awards remained unvested and thus the awards were cancelled in full. The RSU Cancellation was voluntary on the part of Mr. Gilmore and was not in exchange for any other equity or cash-based compensation awards or payments.

The foregoing description of the RSU Cancellation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of RSU and PRSU Cancellation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
