S&P upgrades MGIC

Standard & Poor's said it raised its insurer financial strength ratings on Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corp. and its subsidiary MGIC Indemnity Co. to B from B-.

At the same time, S&P raised its unsolicited rating on MGIC's parent company MGIC Investment Corp. to B- from CCC+.

The outlook is stable.

MGIC Investment Corp. announced a plan to issue 135 million shares of common equity and $450 million of senior convertible notes due in 2020. If the 15% share and $50 million note overallotments are fully exercised, the combined offering will provide more than $1.2 billion in additional capital to the company, the agency said.
