February 6, 2007

Dear Fellow MGIC Co-Worker,

On behalf of MGIC’s Management Team and our Board of Directors, I am excited and proud of our recent announcement about our plans to merge with Radian. We intend to be better together…to build a stronger future for shareholders, customers, and co-workers!

You have probably seen or read media accounts of our announcement, but I wanted you to hear from me what this means for MGIC once the transaction is completed. The new company, when combined, will have almost $15 billion in total assets, over $290 billion of primary mortgage insurance in force across the United States and Puerto Rico, a financial guaranty portfolio approximating $104 billion of net par outstanding and an international presence.

We believe this combination should be extremely beneficial to our customers, co-workers and shareholders which many of you are! We believe this transaction creates broader, deeper choices for customers, and expanded opportunities for co-workers, while positioning us to create significant benefits to shareholders of both companies.

The MGIC Management Team and our Board of Directors believe that Radian is the right partner at the right time. Radian is an outstanding organization that has the same passion for excellence in quality customer service as we do and shares our dedication to improving shareholder returns and providing co-workers with quality career opportunities.

Many of you are probably already wondering what will change. As with all merger transactions, many details will be determined once the legal part of the merger is finalized. We expect the merger will be complete in the fourth quarter of 2007. I will be chairman and chief executive officer while S.A. Ibrahim, current chief executive officer of Radian, will serve as the president and chief operating officer of the combined company. S.A. Ibrahim will succeed me as chief executive officer in May of 2009 and as chairman in May 2010. The board of directors will initially be comprised of six members designated by MGIC and five members designated by Radian, but promptly following the consummation of the merger, the MGIC Radian Financial Group will nominate an additional director designated by Radian. The new company’s corporate and mortgage insurance headquarters will be located in Milwaukee and the financial guaranty business will be based out of New York. The new company will be called MGIC Radian Financial Group Inc. And, most importantly, our customers can expect the same excellent level of service that you provide them with now.

We expect that the growth of the combined company will lead to expanded career opportunities for co-workers. However, as in any transaction of this kind, there is the unfortunate possibility that some co-workers from both companies may lose their jobs as we pursue strategies to capitalize on the best of both companies. It is premature to speculate about individual jobs or functions at this time since all those decisions have not been made. Over the course of the next several months a detailed business integration plan will be developed and as part of that plan we pledge to keep you updated on a regular basis.


In closing, I want to tell you how extremely proud I am of each and every one of you. As you know we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of our company and over that time a strong culture of consistently focusing on doing the right thing and making a difference for our customers and our company has been established. That is a testament to the way you work and live your life.

S.A.Ibrahim and I both look forward to what our two organizations can accomplish together. We are confident that we will be better together and have a stronger future as one company.

Sincerely,

/s/ Curt Culver

MGIC Investment Corporation

A merger between MGIC and Radian creates a premier mortgage insurance provider and a diversified financial services company, with a combined asset size of approximately $15 billion, nearly $290 billion of primary mortgage insurance in force and a financial guaranty portfolio approximating $104 billion of net par outstanding.

Q. What are the financial terms of the merger?
A. Under the merger, 0.9658 shares of MGIC common stock will be exchanged for each 1.0 share of Radian common stock. The merger is intended to qualify as a “tax free reorganization” for U.S. shareholders. Based upon MGIC’s February 5, 2007 closing price, the pro forma combined market capitalization of the new company would be approximately $10 billion. The transaction anticipates earnings per share accretion and value enhancement for all shareholders.

  As part of the transaction, it is currently expected that the new company will initially pay a dividend of $0.25 per share per quarter, which is the current MGIC quarterly dividend rate and represents an increase of $0.23 per share for Radian shareholders. All dividends are subject to applicable law and the discretion of the applicable company’s board of directors.

Q. How will the board of directors for the new company be structured?
A. The board of directors will initially be comprised of six members designated by MGIC and five members designated by Radian, but promptly following the consummation of the merger, the MGIC Radian Financial Group Inc. will nominate for director an additional Radian director to stand for election by the combined company’s shareholders.

Q. Why is there no premium?
A. This transaction is a strategic merger of equals and, as such, shareholders in both companies will share in the significant benefits of the combination.

Q. Why do this deal now?
A. The strategic combination of Radian and MGIC is occurring at the right time for both companies. It parallels the consolidation that has taken place within the mortgage industry, the primary market we serve. In order to stay competitive, we are aligning ourselves with this dynamic and changing landscape.

Q. What are the benefits for shareholders?
A. This move brings together two strong, well-run companies, building strength on strength. This merger is a strategic combination creating a preeminent mortgage and credit risk insurer with a greater ability to serve customers with a broader range of products and services. The structure of this merger provides the best long-term approach for creating a stronger company, faster. In addition, Radian shareholders will receive a higher dividend as a result of the transaction and both companies’ shareholders are expected to benefit from the value created from the transaction.

Q. What will the merger mean for our communities?
A. MGIC and Radian share a common desire and dedication to improving the quality of life in the communities we serve. We will continue our support of the communities in which our customers and co-workers work and live.

Q. What will the merger mean for our customers?
A. Customers always have been the first priority for both companies, and that fact will not change. Our customers will benefit through a greater array of products and services which will help them grow their business resulting in bottom-line profitability. They will have enhanced products and services and feel confident they are doing business with the best talent, analytics and systems of both companies in the U.S. As a combined company, we have the commitment, talent, technology and business models to achieve a successful integration. We will keep our focus on customers throughout this process, and our first priority will be maintaining high service levels and providing value for those customers.

Q. What will the merger mean for co-workers?

2


A. A larger company has the advantage of offering more career opportunities. As in any transaction of this kind, there is the unfortunate reality that some co-workers from both companies will lose their jobs. All of our decisions will be made carefully with consideration and respect for the people who have helped build these two companies. We anticipate at this time that some operations will stay in Philadelphia and the Financial Guaranty business will remain in New York. We do anticipate some Radian co-workers relocating to Milwaukee from other Radian offices. They will, of course, be offered appropriate relocation packages.

Q. What will it mean to co-workers displaced because of this merger?
A. The new company will work diligently to place co-workers in open positions or in positions newly created by the merger. Co-workers who lose their jobs as a result of the merger will receive severance and transition assistance to help them find new positions.

Q. When will co-workers know which jobs will be affected?
A. Until we understand how the new organization will be structured across all lines of business, we cannot be sure. Our co-workers’ future is of primary importance to us and we will strive to make these decisions as quickly as possible. We do know that in an integration process like this, job changes will take place over time and that the entire integration process may take up to 18 months.

Q. Will there be changes to compensation and benefits as a result of the merger?
A. There will not be any immediate changes. However, our integration team will review compensation and benefits, and keep co-workers updated as decisions regarding compensation and benefits are made. We remain committed to providing competitive benefits to our entire workforce.

Q. Will there be any changes for retirees?
A. Retirees are very important to MGIC and Radian, and we are very appreciative of their years of service. For now, there will be no changes. We pledge to keep all co-workers, including retirees, apprised of any changes in benefits or services that may affect them. We also pledge to keep the needs of our co-workers and retirees paramount in our thinking as we move through a careful and intelligent transition to the new company.

Q. How will co-workers be kept informed?
A. We will communicate on a regular basis through emails and our intranet to keep co-workers abreast of any changes that result from this merger.

Q. Who should the media be referred to?
A. It is MGIC’s policy that all media inquiries be handled by our corporate relations department. All calls from the media should be directed to either Katie Monfre at 414-347-2650 or Mike Zimmerman at 414-347-6596. Media calls specifically regarding Radian can be directed to Michelle Davidson at 215-231-1325.

Q. Who should customer calls be referred to?
A. Customers with questions should be referred to their account manager.

Discussions  made in this press release  that  are  not  statements  of  historical  fact (including statements that include terms such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” and “plan”) are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving Radian and MGIC, including future financial and operating results, the new company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements:  the  ability  to  obtain regulatory approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule;   the failure of Radian or MGIC shareholders  to approve the  transaction;  the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; customer attrition and  disruption  from the  transaction  making  it more  difficult  to  maintain relationships with customers,  employees or suppliers;  the risk that the cost savings and any other  synergies from the  transaction may not be fully realized or may take  longer to  realize  than  expected; competition  and its effect on pricing, spending,  third-party relationships and revenues; movements in market interest  rates and secondary  market  volatility;  potential sales of assets in connection with the merger; legislative and regulatory changes affecting demand for private mortgage insurance or financial guaranty insurance; downgrades of the insurance financial-strength ratings assigned by the major ratings agencies to Radian’s and MGIC’s operating subsidiaries and unfavorable changes in economic and business conditions. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in Radian’s and MGIC’s filings with the SEC, which are available at the SEC’s website http://www.sec.gov.  Radian and MGIC disclaim any obligation to update and revise statements contained in these materials based on new information or otherwise.
