ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

On January 28, 2016, in light of a recent ruling by the Delaware Court of Chancery in a proceeding not involving Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, declared advisable and recommended for stockholder approval an amendment that removes language in Section 5.3 of Article FIFTH of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation providing that directors may be removed by the Company’s stockholders only for cause, so that members of the Board may be removed with or without cause. On January 28, 2016, the Board also directed that this amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation be submitted for consideration at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.

Consistent with the foregoing actions, the Board also approved a resolution that pending adoption of this amendment, the “only for cause” director removal provision shall not be enforced.
