Senior Notes
Senior Notes due 2027. These notes, which were issued in June 2019, bear interest payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and mature on March 15, 2027.
Senior Notes due 2029. In March 2024, we issued $625 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029 and received net proceeds of $617 million. These notes mature on May 15, 2029, and bear interest at a rate of 6.200% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, which interest payments commenced on November 15, 2024.
Redemption Terms in Senior Notes. We have the option to redeem the Senior Notes due 2027 and 2029, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to September 15, 2026 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes due 2027) and April 15, 2029 (the date that is one month prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes due 2029) (in each case, the “Par Call Date”), respectively. Prior to the Par Call Date, the Senior Notes due 2027 and 2029 may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (ii) the make-whole amount, which is the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the notes to be redeemed from the redemption date to the Par Call Date discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis at the applicable treasury rate plus 50 basis points (for the Senior Notes due 2027) or 30 basis points (for the Senior Notes due 2029) plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time on or after the applicable Par Call Date, we may, at our option, redeem the notes in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Covenants in Senior Notes. The indentures governing the Senior Notes due 2027 and 2029 contain covenants customary for securities of this nature, including covenants related to the payment of the notes, reports to be provided, compliance certificates to be issued and covenants related to amendments to the indentures. Additionally, the indentures include covenants restricting us from encumbering the capital stock of a designated subsidiary (as defined in the indenture for the notes) or disposing of any capital stock of any designated subsidiary unless such disposition is made for at least fair value of the capital stock (in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors) and either all of the stock is disposed of or we retain more than 80% of the stock. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2025.
FHLB Advances
Radian Guaranty is a member of the FHLB. As a member, it may borrow from the FHLB, subject to certain conditions, which include the need to post collateral and the requirement to maintain a minimum investment in FHLB stock, in part depending on the level of its outstanding FHLB advances.
Interest on the FHLB advances is primarily fixed-rate and is payable quarterly, or at maturity if the term of the advance is less than 90 days. Principal is due at maturity. For obligations with maturities greater than or equal to 90 days, we may prepay the debt at any time, subject to paying a prepayment fee.
The principal balance of the FHLB advances is required to be collateralized by eligible assets with a fair value that must be maintained generally within a minimum range of 103% to 114% of the amount borrowed, depending on the type of assets pledged. Our investments include securities totaling $43 million and $49 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which serve as collateral for our FHLB advances to satisfy this requirement.
Revolving Credit Facility
Radian Group had in place since December 2021 an unsecured revolving credit facility for $275 million with a syndicate of bank lenders that was set to expire in December 2026. On November 4, 2025, Radian Group entered into an amended and restated credit facility with a syndicate of bank lenders, led by Royal Bank of Canada and Citizens Bank, to, among other things, increase the committed borrowing capacity to $500 million. The amended and restated credit facility has a maturity date of November 4, 2030. The amended and restated credit facility also includes an accordion feature that allows Radian Group, at its option, to increase the total borrowing capacity by $250 million, so long as Radian receives commitments from lenders. Subject to certain limitations, borrowings under the credit facility may be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and growth initiatives. In February 2026, we drew $200 million on the facility in connection with the Inigo closing. See Note 1 for information on the Inigo acquisition.
The credit facility contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain financial and other covenants, including covenants related to minimum consolidated net worth, a maximum debt-to-capitalization level, limits on certain types of indebtedness and liens, and Radian Guaranty’s eligibility as a private mortgage insurer with the GSEs. As of December 31, 2025, Radian Group was in compliance with all the covenants and there were no amounts outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
