Senior Notes Offering
On March 18, 2016, Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced underwritten public offering of $350 million principal amount of 7.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes,” and the offering, the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, on March 15, 2016, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule A thereto (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale by the Company of its Notes. The Underwriting Agreement contains other terms and conditions, including indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto, that are generally customary for transactions of this nature.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $343,489,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with shares of its common stock, to purchase 2.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Convertible Notes”) and otherwise for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include repurchases of its common stock and of 3.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017.
The Notes were issued under the Senior Indenture dated as of March 4, 2013 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 18, 2016 (together, the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are the Company’s unsecured senior obligations. The Notes pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 at a rate of 7.000% per year and will mature on March 15, 2021. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at its option at any time or from time to time prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the make-whole amount, which is the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed discounted at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture provides for Events of Default that may, in certain circumstances, lead to the outstanding principal and unpaid interest of the Notes becoming immediately due and payable.
The Notes were offered for sale pursuant to a prospectus and related prospectus supplement that constitute a part of the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-3 on May 6, 2014 (File No. 333-195738) (the “Registration Statement”).
The Notes were registered with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Statement. The material terms of the offer and sale of the Notes are described in the Company’s prospectus supplement, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2016, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which supplements the Company’s prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement and the Indenture, which are included as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. is providing investment banking and advisory services to the Company. Each of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, and their respective affiliates, have in the past received, and will be entitled to receive, separate fees for such services.
