2013/3/4 - Radian Announces Completion of Concurrent Offerings of Common Stock and Convertible Senior Notes

The notes are the Company’s unsecured obligations. The notes will pay interest semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 at a rate of 2.25% per year, and will mature on March 1, 2019.

Prior to December 1, 2018, the notes will be convertible only upon specified events and during specified periods and, thereafter, at any time. The notes will initially be convertible at a conversion rate of 94.3396 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, corresponding to an initial conversion price of approximately $10.60 per share of the Company’s common stock. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon certain events, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s option. The Company will have the right to redeem all or part of the notes on or after March 8, 2016 if the last reported sale price of its common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period.

The shares and notes were issued pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-3 and declared effective on August 20, 2012. The offerings were made by means of a prospectus and related prospectus supplements.
