Item 8.01. Other Events.
As of December 31, 2015, our holding company’s debt obligations were composed of $333.5 million of 5% Convertible Senior Notes (the “5% Notes”) due May 1, 2017, $500.0 million of 2% Convertible Senior Notes due in 2020, and $389.5 million of 9% Convertible Junior Debentures due in 2063 (the “9% Debentures”). We previously disclosed that we have from time to time purchased our debt securities, including those that are convertible, and that we may continue to do so in the future.
During the period from January 1, 2016 through February 10, 2016, we purchased, or entered into an agreement to purchase, the following of our debt obligations:
• | $127.7 million par value of our 5% Notes at a purchase price of $132.4 million (plus accrued interest) using funds held at our holding company. |
• | $132.7 million par value of our 9% Debentures at a purchase price of $150.7 million (plus accrued interest) using funds that our subsidiary, Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), obtained from the proceeds of a borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (the “FHLBC”), of which MGIC is a member. |
The excess of the purchase price of the 5% Notes over their par value will be reflected as a loss in our Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2016. The difference between the fair value of the debt component of the 9% Debentures and our current carrying value (which is par value) will be reflected as a gain or loss in our Statement of Operations. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the debt component will be attributable to the equity component and will be a reduction in our shareholders’ equity. The purchase of the 5% Notes reduced our potentially dilutive shares by approximately 9.5 million shares. The purchase of the 9% Debentures, when completed, will reduce our potentially dilutive shares by approximately 9.8 million shares.
On February 10, 2016, MGIC borrowed $155.0 million in the form of a fixed rate advance from the FHLBC (the “Advance”). Interest on the Advance is payable monthly at an annual rate, fixed for the term of the Advance, of 1.91%. The principal of the Advance matures on February 10, 2023. MGIC may prepay the Advance at any time. Such prepayment would be below par if interest rates have risen after the Advance was originated, or above par if interest rates have declined. The Advance is secured by eligible collateral whose market value must be maintained at 102% of the principal balance of the Advance. MGIC provided eligible collateral from its investment portfolio.
The 9% Debentures are not extinguished; MGIC will hold them as an asset, will receive interest on them at the same time as interest is paid to other holders of the 9% Debentures and will be entitled to convert them into common stock of the holding company on the same terms as other holders. However, for GAAP accounting purposes, the 9% Debentures owned by MGIC will be considered retired and will be eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and the underlying common stock equivalents will not be included in the computation of fully diluted shares.
We previously disclosed that we are discussing with our regulator, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Wisconsin, the resumption of ongoing dividends from MGIC to the holding company in 2016 and we do not believe that the purchase of the 9% Debentures will negatively impact the prospects of MGIC’s resuming dividends. Although it is likely that the 9% Debentures will not be considered “Admitted Assets” for statutory accounting purposes, the collateral used to secure the Advance will be considered “Admitted Assets” and, as a result, the transaction should have no affect on MGIC’s compliance with the regulatory capital requirements of the states that have such requirements.
As of December 31, 2015, before the purchase of the 9% Debentures and the borrowing under the Advance, MGIC had “Available Assets” under the Private Mortgage Insurer Eligibility Requirements of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the “PMIERs”) of $5.0 billion and “Minimum Required Assets” of $4.5 billion. Although the 9% Debentures will be assets of MGIC, we will not consider them to be “Available Assets” for purposes of the PMIERs. It is unclear if the collateral used to secure the Advance will be considered “Available Assets” for purposes of the PMIERs.
