Radian Prices Offering of Common Stock; Increases Size and Prices Concurrent Offering of Senior Notes

Radian (News - Alert) Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) announced today that it has priced its previously announced public offering of 15,500,000 shares of its common stock (the "Common Stock Offering") at $14.50 per share, and has priced its concurrent public offering of senior unsecured notes due 2019 and increased the size of that offering from $200 million aggregate principal amount to $300 million aggregate principal amount (the "Notes Offering" and, collectively with the Common Stock Offering, the "Offerings"). Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as book-running manager for the Offerings, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. are acting as co-managers in the Common Stock Offering. In connection with the Common Stock Offering, the underwriters have a thirty-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,325,000 shares of common stock. The Offerings are expected to close on May 13, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.

The notes will be unsecured senior obligations of Radian Group Inc. The notes will pay interest semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 at a rate of 5.50% per year, and will mature on June 1, 2019.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offerings to fund the purchase price and reated expenses of its pending acquisition of Clayton Holdings LLC, to fund the early redemption of Radian Group's 5.375% Senior Notes due June 2015 and for working capital.

Neither the Common Stock Offering nor the Notes Offering will be contingent on the completion of the other offering or on the completion of the Clayton acquisition.

The Offerings are being conducted as separate public offerings pursuant to an effective registration statement (including a base prospectus) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Before making an investment, potential investors should first read the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, the registration statement and the other documents that Radian Group filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the applicable Offering.
