Mgic Investment Corp
MGIC Investment Corporation is a holding company which, through its wholly owned
subsidiary Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (“MGIC”), is the leading provider
of private mortgage insurance in the United States to the home mortgage lending
industry. Private mortgage insurance covers residential first mortgage loans and
expands home ownership opportunities by enabling people to purchase homes with
less than 20% down payments. If the homeowner defaults, private mortgage insurance
reduces and, in some instances, eliminates the loss to the insured institution.
Private mortgage insurance also facilitates the sale of low down payment and other
mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market, including to the Federal National
Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(“Freddie Mac”) (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are collectively referred to as the
“GSEs”). In addition to mortgage insurance on first liens, the Company, through
other subsidiaries, provides lenders with various underwriting and other services
and products related to home mortgage lending.

Infinity Property & Casualty Corp
Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation was incorporated under the laws
of the State of Ohio on September 16, 2002. We are a holding company that provides,
through our subsidiaries, personal automobile insurance with a focus on the
nonstandard market. Our headquarters is located in Birmingham, Alabama.
Personal auto insurance is the largest line of property and casualty insurance,
accounting for approximately 36%, or $183 billion, of the estimated $503 billion
of annual industry premium. Personal auto insurance comprises preferred, standard
and nonstandard risks. Nonstandard risks are associated with drivers who, due
to factors such as their driving record, driving experience, lapse in, or the
absence of, prior insurance, or credit history, represent a higher than normal
risk. Customers in the market for nonstandard auto insurance generally seek
minimum required liability limits and are willing to accept restrictive coverages
in exchange for more affordable insurance, given their risk profile. There is
no established industry-recognized distinction between nonstandard risks and
all other personal auto risks. Independent agents sell approximately 27% of
all personal automobile insurance. The remainder is sold by captive agents or
directly by insurance companies to their customers. We believe that, relative
to the standard and preferred auto insurance market, independent agents sell
a disproportionately larger portion of nonstandard auto insurance.
