Item 8.01.     Other Events.

Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”) is providing certain terms for the potential future redemption of its 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”).

The Company currently has outstanding $68.0 million principal amount of the Notes.  Under the indenture governing the Notes, the Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Notes as long as the daily closing sale price per share of its common stock is at least 130 percent of the then-current conversion price (currently this threshold is $13.78) for at least 20 out of the immediately preceding 30 consecutive trading days before the delivery of a redemption notice (the “Redemption Trigger”). If the Company elects to redeem the Notes, the Company currently intends to settle in cash any conversions of the Notes occurring between the date of the redemption notice and the redemption date, as well as any Notes redeemed on the redemption date.

The Company is providing this information as contemplated in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).  The Company is not making any assurances that the Redemption Trigger will be satisfied or that it will redeem the Notes.  The Company may subsequently elect to use an alternate settlement method in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes.  However, in that event, the Company will announce the new settlement method as contemplated in its 2015 Form 10-K.
