PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
1999 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON
AUGUST 31, 1999
------------------------
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of RADIAN GROUP INC. (the "Company"), for use
at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 1601 Market Street,
11th Floor, Philadelphia, PA, on Tuesday, August 31, 1999 at 10:00 a.m., local
time, and at any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying
Proxy Card are expected to be distributed to stockholders on or about July 30,
1999.
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to the use of the mails, Corporate Investor Communications, Inc.,
Carlstadt, New Jersey, a proxy solicitation firm, has been employed to solicit
proxies by mail, telephone or personal solicitation. It is anticipated that the
fees to be paid to Corporate Investor Communications by the Company will not
exceed $10,000. Proxies may also be solicited by officers and directors and a
small number of employees of the Company who will not be specially compensated
for such services. The Company will also request banks, brokers and other
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to
their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies. The
Company will, upon request, reimburse such persons for reasonable expenses
incurred in that regard.
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
At the annual meeting, the stockholders will be asked to (i) elect three
directors to hold office as provided by law and the By-laws of the Company, (ii)
ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for the year ending December 31, 1999, and (iii) transact such other
business as may properly come before the meeting.
VOTING AT THE MEETING
Holders of the shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), of
record at the close of business on July 26, 1999 are entitled to vote at the
meeting. As of that date, 36,967,216 shares of Common Stock were outstanding.
Each stockholder entitled to vote shall have the right to one vote for each
share outstanding in such stockholder's name.
The Company presently has no other class of stock outstanding and entitled
to vote at the meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. The
affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented
by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the election of
directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve
and ratify (i) the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or (ii) to take action
with respect to any other matter as may be properly brought before the meeting.
With regard to election of directors, votes may be cast in favor or
withheld; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect.

Abstentions may be specified on the proposals to ratify the Company's
auditors. Abstentions may not be specified for the election of directors.
Abstentions will be considered present and entitled to vote at the meeting but
will not be counted as votes cast in the affirmative.
Brokers that are member firms of the New York Stock Exchange and who hold
shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote those shares with
respect to the election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of
Deloitte & Touche LLP if they have not received instructions to the contrary
from a beneficial owner.
Shares cannot be voted at the meeting unless the holder of record is
present in person or is represented by proxy. The enclosed Proxy Card is a means
by which a stockholder may authorize the voting of his or her shares at the
meeting. The shares of Common Stock represented by each properly executed Proxy
Card will be voted at the meeting in accordance with each stockholder's
directions. Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the
appropriate boxes on the enclosed Proxy Card; if no choice has been specified,
the shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. If any other
matters are properly presented to the meeting for action, the proxy holders will
vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters)
in accordance with their best judgment.
Execution of the accompanying Proxy Card will not affect a stockholder's
right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of
the Company before the proxy is voted, by voting in person at the meeting, or by
executing a later-dated proxy that is received by the Company before the
meeting.
YOUR PROXY VOTE IS IMPORTANT TO THE COMPANY. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE ASKED TO
COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY CARD WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO
ATTEND THE MEETING. IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING TO VOTE IN PERSON AND YOUR
SHARES ARE REGISTERED WITH THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT (THE BANK OF NEW YORK)
IN THE NAME OF A BROKER, BANK OR OTHER CUSTODIAN, NOMINEE OR FIDUCIARY, YOU MUST
SECURE A PROXY FROM SUCH PERSON ASSIGNING YOU THE RIGHT TO VOTE YOUR SHARES.
I. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
that the Board of Directors of the Company is classified into three classes of
directors having staggered terms. Each class is as equal in size as possible.
Each class holds office for a term of three years and until the election and
qualification of their respective successors or until their earlier removal or
resignation.
Three directors are to be elected at the 1999 annual meeting. The terms of
three current directors, David C. Carney, Claire M. Fagin and Ronald W. Moore,
will expire at the 1999 annual meeting. The Board of Directors has nominated
these three current directors for election as directors of the Company for terms
of office that would expire in 2002. The remaining eleven directors will
continue to serve in accordance with their prior election or appointment.
The nominees have consented to be named and to serve if elected or
confirmed. Unless otherwise instructed by the stockholders, the persons named in
the proxies will vote the shares represented thereby FOR the election of such
nominees. The Board of Directors believes all nominees will be able to serve as
directors; however, if this should not be the case, the proxies may be voted for
any substitute nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors.
The three directors are to be elected by a plurality of the shares present
in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. The Board
of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF NOMINEES
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company
prohibits a nominee from being elected a director unless the name of the
nominee, together with such consents and information concerning present and
prior occupations, transactions with the Company or its subsidiaries, and other
matters as may be
2
6
required pursuant to the By-laws, is filed with the Secretary of the Company no
later than the time fixed pursuant to the By-laws.
The Company's By-laws permit any stockholder entitled to vote for the
election of directors at a meeting to nominate a director for election by giving
written notice thereof to the Secretary of the Company by August 16, 1999. This
notice must contain or be accompanied by the following information:
(a) the name and residence of the stockholder who intends to make the
nomination;
(b) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of the
Company's voting stock and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice;
(c) such information regarding each nominee as would be required in a
proxy statement filed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission had proxies been solicited with respect to the nominee by the
management or Board of Directors of the Company;

stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such
person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to
be made by the stockholder; and
(e) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company.
The Company's Nominating Committee unanimously voted to make an exception
to the provision of the By-laws of the Company that prohibits anyone who has
reached the age of 70 from being elected to the Board of Directors in order to
permit Claire Fagin to stand for election for an additional term.

additional compensation for such service. Each non-employee director
automatically receives, at each December Board of Directors meeting, a grant of
400 units of phantom stock at full value exerciseable upon their departure from

stock, each director receives a non-qualified stock option under the Company's
stock option plan to acquire 1,200 shares of Common Stock of the Company at the
fair market value of such Common Stock on the date of the grant. These options
become vested and fully exerciseable on the first anniversary of the date of the
grant, provided that the optionee is a director of the Company on such
anniversary date. Options are exercisable for ten years after the date of the
grant, provided that the optionee remains a director of the Company. The
exercise price of such options is 100% of the fair market value of the Common

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS
See "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS" for a description of change of control
agreements between the Company and its executive officers.
PENSION PLAN
The Board of Directors of the Company has established the Company's Pension
Plan (the "Pension Plan"). The Pension Plan is intended to be tax-qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. All salaried and hourly
employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Pension Plan upon
the attainment of 20 1/2 years of age and one year of eligible service. A
participant is generally fully vested after five years of service subsequent to
age 18.
The amount of the annual normal retirement benefit of a participant is the
sum of (i) 1.1% of his average base salary (up to a statutory maximum equal to
$160,000 in 1998) for the five consecutive calendar years for which such average
is highest ("Average Annual Salary") multiplied by his number of years of
credited service not in excess of 35 years, plus (ii) 0.5% of the participant's
Average Annual Salary in excess of the average of the annual Social Security
taxable wage bases in effect for each of the 35 calendar years ending with the
calendar year in which he attains Social Security retirement age multiplied by
his number of years of credited service not in excess of 35 years, plus (iii)
0.5% of the participant's Average Annual Salary multiplied by his number of
years of credited service in excess of 35 years.
In January 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company established a
nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"). This plan is
intended to provide certain officers with a supplemental retirement program to
the qualified pension plan. The difference between the SERP and the qualified
pension plan is that the SERP is not subject to the statutory cap on
compensation that may be taken into account for the calculation of benefits
($160,000 in 1998) and the statutory cap on actual benefits ($130,000 in 1998).
The benefit under the SERP is determined using the same formula as that under
the qualified pension plan but is based on total compensation (inclusive of
salary and bonus) up to 150% of average base pay for the three consecutive
calendar years for which such base pay is the highest. Under the terms of the
SERP, the Board of Directors must annually designate which officers are eligible
to participate in the SERP.
The following table sets forth the approximate annual pension that a
full-time employee, including an officer, may receive under the Pension Plan,
assuming selection of a single life annuity and retirement at age 65, based on
the indicated assumptions as to Average Annual Salary and years of credited
service. The following table assumes that the Company was in existence for the
entire year of 1992. Benefits shown in the following table in excess of $130,000
are payable by the Company only to persons designated by the Board of Directors
to participate in the SERP.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS OF THE COMPANY
The Stock Option and Compensation Committee (the "Committee") has provided
the following report on executive compensation for the year ended December 31,
1998:
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation program
should be closely related to the services that the executives deliver to the
Company and the value such services bring to the stockholders of the Company.
The Committee believes an executive's compensation should be based, in
part, on the achievement by the Company of certain specified financial
objectives and, in part, on the achievement by the executive of specific,
individual objectives. The Company's financial objectives are recommended by
management and are approved by the Stock Option and Compensation Committee and
further ratified by the full Board of Directors. Achievement of both the
corporate and individual objectives should lead to improved performance and
greater value to the stockholders. The Stock Option and Compensation Committee
hired an outside consultant to review the Company's compensation programs in
light of those provided by similar organizations.
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company's executive compensation program is comprised of three
components: (i) annual base salary; (ii) annual bonus; and (iii) long-term
equity incentives. The variable portions of the executive compensation program
(annual bonus and stock options) are directly tied to the Company's results of
operations. The annual bonus has been designed to recognize shorter-term results
while awards of stock options have been implemented to recognize sustained
corporate growth and profitability. The annual bonus plan is designed to reflect
the achievement of specific individual and corporate goals and objectives
including specific net income and return on equity targets. The amount of the
annual bonus actually awarded to an executive officer is dependent on the
meeting or exceeding of specific targets which are developed at the beginning of
each year by the executive and the Company. Failure to reach the targeted goals
results in lower annual bonus awards and may, in the appropriate circumstances,
result in no award. Since the attainment of the goals and objectives of the
Company leads to increased stockholder returns, the annual bonus plan creates a
direct relationship between executive compensation and the creation of
additional value for the stockholders.
13
17
COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Mr. Filipps' annual compensation is fixed by the Committee. The Committee
may grant periodic salary increases, if warranted, after a review of Mr.
Filipps' performance and an assessment of the competitiveness of Mr. Filipps'
current base salary. The award of an annual bonus recognizes Mr. Filipps'
contributions to the Company's overall results. Contributions are measured
against specific goals and objectives which are established by the Committee at
the beginning of each year. The Committee considers the Company's return on
equity, combined ratio, market share, growth in earnings and revenue, reduction
in expenses, increases in profitability, as well as Mr. Filipps' individual
goals and objectives.
ANNUAL BASE SALARY
The annual base salary levels for the Company's executive officers are
intended to be competitive with salaries for executive officers in comparable
industries with similar levels of responsibility. The Company believes the
salaries are competitive. Salaries paid to executive officers are fixed by the
Committee. The Committee grants periodic salary increases, if warranted, after a
review of individual performance and an assessment of the competitiveness of the
executive's current salary.
ANNUAL BONUS
The award of an annual bonus recognizes the individual contributions of an
executive officer to the Company's overall results of operations. Contributions
are measured against specific goals and objectives established at the beginning
of the year for each executive officer and the Company. Among the factors
considered are the Company's return on equity, combined ratio, market share,
growth in earnings and revenue, reduction in expenses, increases in
productivity, etc. Individual objectives are based on the executive's position
with the Company or an affiliate.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Company reviews the performance of all
executive officers and makes specific recommendations to the Committee regarding
the amount of annual bonus, if any, to be awarded. The amount of the annual
bonus is dependent upon achieving specific goals and objectives.
LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE
The Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Equity Compensation Plan
provide the Company the opportunity to reward the contributions of key
employees -- executive officers and others. After careful review, management has
concluded that the use of stock option awards based on salary levels was the
best method of long-term incentive compensation of executive officers, and one
that would ensure that the executive officers hold equity stakes in the Company.
The Company's management modified the existing stock option grant guidelines and
suggested that the Committee adopt these modifications. Based upon the review
and management's recommendations, the Committee approved guidelines that provide
for stock option grants to executive officers (and key employees) upon the
occurrence of one (or more) of the following events: (i) initial employment,
(ii) promotion to a new, higher level position with increased responsibility and
accountability, and/or (iii) the attainment of specific goals and objectives by
an executive officer or key employee and the Company. Pursuant to these
guidelines, the CEO recommends the number of stock options to be granted to an
executive officer (or key employee) and presents this recommendation to the
Committee along with supporting data for its review and approval.
The Committee reviews the individual performance of Messrs. Filipps and
Kasmar. The performances of the other executive officers of the Company are
reviewed by Mr. Filipps who makes specific recommendations to the Committee
regarding eligibility for and the amount of stock options to be granted to those
executive officers (and key employees) of the Company who have made significant
contributions to the Company's results of operations.
The Committee evaluates the performance of the Company during a calendar
year by examining a number of factors including the Company's competitive
position in the mortgage insurance industry, growth in earnings, return on
equity and other specific corporate goals and objectives. The Committee also
examines the
14
18
recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee grants, subject to
approval and ratification by the Board of Directors, stock options to the Chief
Executive Officer and other executive officers and key employees.
During 1998, no executive officers of the Company were granted options to
purchase shares.
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally
disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million
paid to a corporation's Chief Executive Officer and the four next most highly
compensated executive officers except to the extent that any amount in excess of
such limit is paid pursuant to a plan containing a performance standard or a
stock option plan that meets certain requirements. The amendments for the 1992
Stock Option Plan approved at the 1995 Annual Meeting were designed to bring the
1992 Stock Option Plan into compliance with Section 162(m). The 1995 Equity
Compensation Plan was also drafted to comply with Section 162(m). To the extent
readily determinable and as one of the factors in its consideration of
compensation matters, the Stock Option and Compensation Committee considers the
anticipated tax treatment to the Company and to the executive officers of
various payments and benefits. The Stock Option and Compensation Committee
intends to retain the deductibility of compensation pursuant to Section 162(m),
but reserves the right to provide non-deductible compensation if it determines
that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN GRAPH
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the Company's total
return to its stockholders be compared to a relevant market index and a similar
industry index for the last five years or such shorter period of time as the
Company has been publicly traded. The Company became a publicly-traded company
on October 30, 1992, when its initial public offering commenced. The following
compares the total return to stockholders of (i) a $100 investment in the
Company's Common Stock, (ii) the Standard and Poor's 500 index, and (iii) a peer
group constructed by the Company for the period December 31, 1993 through
December 31, 1998. The three companies in the peer group, MGIC Investment
Corporation, a publicly-traded mortgage insurance company, Fannie Mae and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") have been selected
because their core businesses involve residential mortgage lending.
Total stockholder return is determined by dividing (i) the sum of the
cumulative amount of dividends for a given period (assuming dividend
reinvestment) and the difference between the share price at the end of the
beginning of the period, by (ii) the share price at the end of the period.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Prior to the Company's initial public offering in October 1992 (the
"Offering"), the Company and Radian were indirect subsidiaries of Reliance Group
Holdings, Inc. ("Reliance"). Mr. Wender, Lead Director of the Company, was
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth, an indirect
subsidiary of Reliance at that time.
Concurrently with the Offering, Commonwealth purchased 800,000 shares of
the Company's $4.125 Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") for an aggregate
purchase price of $40.0 million. On February 27, 1998, Commonwealth was acquired
by LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. and as successor to Commonwealth Land Title
Insurance Company ("Commonwealth"), now owns the Preferred Stock. Dividends on
the Preferred Stock are payable quarterly and for the year ended December 31,
1998 totaled $3.3 million. The Preferred Stock is redeemable, in whole or from
time to time in part, at the option of the Company at $54.125 per share
beginning on August 15, 2002 and declining to $50.00 per share on August 15,
2005. On August 15 of each year beginning in 2002, the Company is obligated, to
the extent it has funds legally available therefor, to redeem 72,000 shares
(80,000 in 2012) at a redemption price of $50.00 per share. In the event that
dividends on the Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid in an amount equal to
six quarterly dividends, the size of the Company's Board of Directors will be
increased by two to permit the holders of the Preferred Stock, voting separately
as a class, to elect two directors. The Company may not consummate any
Fundamental Transaction (defined as a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or
similar transaction on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to
vote) unless such transaction is approved by two-thirds of the outstanding
shares of the Preferred Stock. In connection with the sale of Preferred Stock,
the Company granted to Commonwealth certain rights to register the Preferred
Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Company has entered into change of control agreements with each of
Messrs. Filipps, Kasmar, Fischer, MacLeod, Luczakowsky, Quint, Carroll and
Yaruss and Scott Stevens, Senior Vice President -- Human Resources and
Administration. The change of control agreements have initial terms of three
years and upon expiration of such period will be automatically extended for
successive one-year terms, unless terminated by either party. The change of
control agreements provide that in the event that, within two years after a
"change in control" of the Company or Radian, the executive's employment is
terminated (i) by the Company for any reason other than (1) the executive's
continued illness, injury or incapacity for a period of twelve consecutive
months or (2) for "cause", which shall mean misappropriation of funds, habitual
insobriety, substance abuse, conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, or
gross negligence in the performance of duties, which gross negligence has had a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, properties or
financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or
(ii) by the executive in the event of relocation or certain specified adverse
changes in employment status and compensation, the executive would be entitled
to a lump-sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times (1) the executive's then current
annual base compensation plus (2) the target bonus for the year in which a
termination occurs. Additionally, upon a change of control (as defined in the
agreements), all options not then vested would fully vest, and any restricted
stock previously granted to the executive which has not yet vested or become
freely transferable would become fully vested and freely transferable.
II. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF SELECTION OF
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
On January 19, 1999 the Board of Directors of the Company, acting upon the
recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected the firm of Deloitte & Touche
LLP as the independent auditors to audit the books, records and accounts of the
Company for the current fiscal year, subject to ratification by the Company's
stockholders. Deloitte & Touche LLP also served as the Company's independent
auditors for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled
to vote. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
It is understood that even if the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is
ratified, the Board, at its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new
independent auditing firm at any time during the year if the Board determines
that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
The Company has requested that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP
attend the 1999 annual meeting of stockholders. Such representative will have an
opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires, and will be available to
respond to appropriate stockholder's questions.
III. OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors is not aware of any matters not set forth herein
that may come before the meeting. If, however, further business properly comes
before the meeting, the persons named in the proxies will vote the shares
represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment.
