Item 5.02.       Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)  At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 5, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the MGIC Investment Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan replaces the MGIC Investment Corporation 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and no further awards will be granted under the 2002 Plan. Following is a summary of the material features of the Plan.  This summary does not change the actual terms of the Plan, which is incorporated by reference to Appendix B to the Company’s Proxy Statement for its May 5, 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The purpose of the Plan is to motivate and incent performance by, and to retain the services of, key employees and non-employee directors through receipt of awards under the Plan.  There are currently approximately 130 eligible individuals, of whom 10 are non-employee directors.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 7,000,000 shares. Awards issued under the Plan that are subsequently forfeited will not count against the limit on the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Plan.  In addition, shares used for income tax withholding or used for payment of the exercise price of an option will not count against the limit.

The Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, as well as cash incentive awards.  No award may be granted after May 5, 2021.

Unless otherwise provided by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Plan will be administered by the Board’s Management Development, Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”), which has authority to, among other things: interpret the Plan, select participants and the types of awards to be granted, and establish the terms and conditions of awards.

The Plan contains a list of performance goals (the “listed goals”) for an annual bonus plan which conditions bonuses on satisfaction of one or more of the listed goals (a bonus plan of this type is “a 162(m) Bonus Plan”). For a 162(m) Bonus Plan, within 90 days after the beginning of our fiscal year, the Committee will select one or more of the listed goals and determine a specific performance target thereunder.  If the performance target is met, the Committee may award bonuses in a maximum amount not to exceed three times the base salary of the CEO and up to 2.25 times the base salaries of other employee participants.  For bonuses payable in 2012 and later years, the Committee may raise the base salary multiples that determine maximum bonuses. In no event, however, may bonuses under a 162(m) bonus plan for any year exceed $5 million for the CEO and $3 million for any other participant.

The Committee may allow participants to elect to receive restricted stock or restricted stock units (“restricted equity”) for a portion of the participant’s bonus.  This restricted equity is referred to as the base shares. If the participant elects to receive base shares, the participant may also be awarded additional shares of restricted equity for each base share. These matching shares will not be counted against the maximum bonus amounts referred to above but their value may not exceed $2.5 million for the CEO and $1.5 million for any other participant. The base shares and the matching shares will be awarded under the Plan. Their vesting provisions will be determined by the Committee.
