Share Repurchase Activity

On February 9, 2022, Radian Group’s board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to spend up to $400.0 million, excluding commissions, to repurchase Radian Group common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, based on market and business conditions, stock price and other factors. Radian generally operates its share repurchase programs pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which permits the Company to purchase shares, at pre-determined price targets, when it may otherwise be precluded from doing so. The authorization will expire in February 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 9.1 million and 10.0 million shares at an average price of $20.25 and $20.51 per share, including commissions, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, purchase authority of up to $195.0 million remained available under this program.

During July, the Company purchased 4.8 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $20.47 per share including commissions. After giving consideration to these repurchases, purchase authority of up to $97.6 million remained available under this program.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

We declared quarterly cash dividends on our common stock equal to $0.125 per share during the first quarter of 2021 and declared quarterly cash dividends on our common stock equal to $0.14 per share for the remaining quarters of 2021. On February 9, 2022, Radian Group’s board of directors authorized an increase to the Company’s quarterly dividend from $0.14 to $0.20 per share, beginning with the dividend declared in the first quarter of 2022.

Share-Based and Other Compensation Programs

During the second quarter of 2022, certain executive and non-executive officers were granted time-vested and performance-based RSUs to be settled in common stock. The maximum payout of performance-based RSUs at the end of the three-year performance period is 200% of a grantee’s target number of RSUs granted. The vesting of the performance-based RSUs granted to certain executive and non-executive officers is based upon the cumulative growth in Radian’s book value per share, adjusted for certain defined items, over a three-year performance period and, with the exception of certain retirement-eligible employees, continued service through the vesting date. Performance-based RSUs granted to executive officers are subject to a one-year post vesting holding period.

The time-vested RSU awards granted to certain executive and non-executive officers in 2022 generally vest in pro rata installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, time-vested RSU awards were also granted to non-employee directors and generally are subject to one-year cliff vesting. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s share-based and other compensation programs.

Information with regard to RSUs to be settled in stock for the periods indicated is as follows.

(1)Outstanding RSUs represent shares that have not yet been issued because not all conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied. For performance-based awards, the final number of RSUs distributed depends on the cumulative growth in Radian’s book value, adjusted for certain defined terms, over the respective three-year performance period and, with the exception of certain retirement-eligible employees, continued service through the vesting date, which could result in changes in vested RSUs.

(2)For performance-based RSUs, amount represents the number of target shares at grant date.

(3)For performance-based RSUs, amount represents the difference between the number of shares vested at settlement, which can range from 0 to 200% of target depending on results over the applicable performance periods, and the number of target shares at grant date.

(4)Represents amounts vested during the year, including the impact of performance adjustments for performance-based awards.
