Radian Releases 2006 Annual Report and Announces Expiration of Hart-Scott-Rodino Waiting Period for Merger with MGIC
PHILADELPHIA, PA, April 9, 2007 -- Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) today announced that its 2006 Annual Report is available on the company’s website at http://www.radian.biz/investors/financial/corporate.aspx, and has been mailed to stockholders. An archive of the company’s Annual Reports can be found at www.radian.biz > Investors > Financial Information > Radian Group Inc. > Annual Reports.

Printed hard copies of the Report are available free of charge by sending a written request to Investor Relations, Radian Group Inc., 1601 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
Hart-Scott-Rodino Waiting Period Expires
The company also announced today that one requirement for its proposed merger with MGIC was completed last week. Radian and MGIC each filed a notice in March with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice to satisfy the filing requirements under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. This began a 30-day waiting period which expired on Thursday, April 5.
With this development, Radian and MGIC currently anticipate completing the merger late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2007. To do this, both Radian and MGIC must
obtain stockholder approval as well as additional regulatory approvals, although there can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained, or that the deal will close as anticipated.
