Share Repurchase Program
On August 9, 2017, Radian Group’s board of directors renewed the Company’s share repurchase program, authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock. The program authorized the Company 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. Pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company purchased 2,491,843 and 3,022,856 shares, respectively, at an average price of $16.07 and $16.56 per share, respectively, including commissions. At June 30, 2018, there was no remaining purchase authority under this program.
