The transaction is also subject to approvals of the applicable regulators and approvals by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation of Arch U.S. MI as an eligible insurance carrier in the U.S. mortgage insurance marketplace, as well as the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. If these approvals are obtained, it is expected the transaction will close during the latter part of 2013.
