| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Radian Guaranty Inc. (“Radian Guaranty”), the mortgage insurance subsidiary of Radian Group Inc. (the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, “Radian”), is providing the following update related to the credit performance of its insured portfolio for the month of May as of May 31, 2020. This information below includes total new primary defaults, including defaults under forbearance programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as cures, claims paid and rescissions/denials for May 2020. The information regarding new defaults and cures is reported to Radian Guaranty from loan servicers. We consider a loan to be in default for financial statement and internal tracking purposes upon receipt of notification by servicers that a borrower has missed two monthly payments. Default reporting, particularly on a monthly basis, may be affected by several factors, including the date on which the loan servicer’s report is generated and transmitted to Radian Guaranty, the impact of updated information submitted by servicers and the timing of servicing transfers.

Beginning Primary Default Inventory (# of loans) | | | 22,790 | |
Plus: Pre-2009 New Defaults | | | 4,514 | |
2009+ New Defaults | | | 31,401 | |
Less: Cures | | | 3,424 | |
Less: Claims Paid (1) | | | 176 | |

Ending Primary Default Inventory (# of loans) | | | 55,103 | |
| (1) | Includes those charged to a deductible or captive reinsurance transactions, as well as commutations. |
| (2) | Net of any previous Rescissions and Claim Denials that were reinstated during the period. Such reinstated Rescissions and Claim Denials may ultimately result in a paid claim. |
Radian Guaranty has entered into three fully collateralized reinsurance arrangements with Eagle Re 2018-1 Ltd., Eagle Re 2019-1 Ltd., and Eagle Re 2020-1 Ltd., respectively, each of which is a special purpose reinsurer domiciled in Bermuda and unaffiliated with Radian (the “Eagle Re Issuers”). For each of these three reinsurance arrangements, the Eagle Re Issuers financed their coverage by issuing mortgage insurance-linked notes (“ILNs”) to eligible third-party capital markets investors in unregistered private offerings. In each of the ILN transactions, the outstanding reinsurance coverage amount will stop amortizing if certain thresholds, or triggers, are reached, including a trigger based on an elevated level of delinquencies as defined in the ILN transaction agreements. Based on the current level of defaults reported to us, the ILNs are currently subject to a delinquency trigger event that is being reported to ILN investors on June 25, 2020. The amortization of principal of the ILNs issued by the Eagle Re Issuers has been suspended and will continue to be suspended during the continuation of the trigger event.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
