Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 30, 2016, Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Severance Agreement and Release with Joseph D’Urso, former President of Clayton Holdings LLC, the Company’s mortgage and real estate services business (“Clayton”).  As previously disclosed, Mr. D’Urso’s employment with Clayton terminated effective March 8, 2016.  Pursuant to the Severance Agreement and Release, Mr. D’Urso will be entitled to severance payments and other benefits that are substantially similar to those provided in connection with an involuntary termination “other than for cause” under his  Executive Officer Agreement with the Company, dated May 5, 2014 (which is substantially similar to the Form of Severance Agreement filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 30, 2010), except as follows:  Under the Severance Agreement, 75% of the stock options and performance-based restricted stock units awarded to him in 2014, and 50% of the stock options and performance-based restricted stock units awarded to him in 2015 will remain eligible for future vesting, in each case subject to achievement of applicable performance criteria established by the terms of the original grants.  Mr. D’Urso’s remaining unvested equity grants will be forfeited.
The Severance Agreement and Release will be effective April 7, 2016, unless earlier revoked by Mr. D’Urso.  Under his Executive Officer Agreement and the Severance Agreement and Release, Mr. D’Urso has agreed, among other things, not to compete with the Company and not to solicit the Company’s employees or customers for twelve months following his termination.
The foregoing is not a complete description of all of the terms and conditions of the Severance Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of that agreement, which the Company plans to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
