August 11 2021 - 6:22PM
Business Wire
Radian Group Inc. (NYSE: RDN) announced today that the company’s
Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend on its
common stock in the amount of $0.14 per share, payable September 2,
2021, to stockholders of record as of August 23, 2021.
In addition, the Board of Directors has approved a $200 million
increase to its share repurchase authorization, which has
approximately $37 million remaining under the existing share
repurchase authorization. The Board also approved an extension to
its share repurchase program from the end of this month to August
31, 2022. With these approvals, Radian has the flexibility to spend
up to $237 million, excluding commissions, to repurchase shares
opportunistically from time to time, based on market and business
conditions, stock price and other factors. The shares may be
purchased in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions. Radian plans to utilize a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which
would permit the company to purchase shares, at pre-determined
price targets, when it may otherwise be precluded from doing
so.
Chief Executive Officer Rick Thornberry commented, “At Radian,
our strong financial results and prudent capital management enable
us to invest in our businesses and return capital to our
stockholders. In fact, over the past five years, we have
repurchased a total of 35 million shares for $739 million and also
returned approximately $155 million through dividend payments. Our
actions today reflect our confidence in our financial position and
our capital flexibility, and we remain committed to strategically
deploying capital where we believe we can drive the greatest
value.”
