Radian Group (RDN) M&A Announcement summary

Deal rationale and strategic fit

• Acquisition transforms the company from a U.S. mortgage insurer to a global multi-line specialty insurer, expanding its addressable market 12 times to $76 billion and enabling capital deployment across uncorrelated insurance lines.

• Inigo's data-driven, high-growth Lloyd's platform complements the acquirer's strengths in analytics, underwriting, and customer focus, with no portfolio overlaps.

• The deal provides diversification, access to new markets, and leverages both companies' expertise in disciplined risk selection.

• Strategic review led to divestiture of mortgage conduit, title, and real estate services businesses, simplifying the business and focusing on specialty insurance.

• Strong cultural and operational fit, with Inigo's leadership and entrepreneurial team remaining post-close.

Financial terms and conditions

• Purchase price is $1.7 billion, funded entirely with available liquidity and excess capital, with no new equity issued and a small equity rollover for Inigo management.

• Valuation is set at 1.5x projected 2025 tangible equity.

• $600 million of funding comes from an intercompany note, already approved by regulators, with the remainder from holding company liquidity and revolving credit facility.

• The deal is expected to close in Q1 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Synergies and expected cost savings
