MILWAUKEE, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: MTG) (the "Company") announced today that it completed the public offering and sale of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior notes due 2028 (the "Notes").

The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.250% per year, payable semi-annually, in arrears, on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2021. The Notes will mature on August 15, 2028.

The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated October 15, 2000 (the "Base Indenture"), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor Trustee (the "Trustee"), as amended and supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated August 12, 2020, between the Company and the Trustee (the "Supplemental Indenture" and together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"). The Indenture provides for customary events of default and further provides that the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the Notes immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events of default after the expiration of any applicable grace period. In addition, in the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries, all outstanding Notes under the Indenture will become due and payable immediately.

The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2019, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the prospectus supplement dated August 6, 2020.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to finance a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of the $425 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company's previously issued 5.750% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Senior Notes"). The Company also used a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering to purchase $38.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 9% Convertible Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2063 (the "2063 Debentures"). Any remaining proceeds will be added to the Company's funds available for general corporate purposes.

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as joint book-running managers.
