Our Business Strategies and 2022 Highlights

Through our subsidiary, Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC), we are a leading provider of mortgage insurance to lenders throughout the United States and to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the GSEs). Our business strategies are to 1) maximize the value we create through our mortgage credit enhancement activities; 2) differentiate ourselves through our customer experience; 3) establish a competitive advantage through our digital and analytical capabilities; 4) excel at acquiring, managing and distributing mortgage credit risk and the related capital; 5) maintain financial strength through economic

PROXY SUMMARY

cycles; and 6) foster an environment that embraces diversity and best positions our people to succeed. As we discuss in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis (CD&A), the compensation of our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) is tied to our financial performance and to performance against business objectives that directly support these business strategies.

We began 2022 with uncertainty about inflation and interest rates. Additionally, the volume of mortgage originations was expected to be 30% lower in 2022 than in 2021. Home prices increased by 17.9% in 2021, but in 2022 the rate of appreciation slowed (seasonally-adjusted Purchase-Only U.S. Home Price Index of the FHFA) and interest rates increased steadily. Despite these headwinds, we demonstrated strong performance, including against performance measures that are considered in determining the annual bonus and long-term equity compensation of our NEOs.

We earned record net income of $865 million on revenues of $1.2 billion. As shown by the metrics below, in 2022, our new insurance written was $76.8 billion, reflective of our performance and the market size; our insurance in force reached an all-time high of $295 billion; and our adjusted net operating income per diluted share grew by 51%. These metrics, among others, were considered when determining the 2022 bonuses of our NEOs and our success in advancing our business strategies.

New Insurance Written (NIW)

(billions)1

Insurance in Force (IIF)

(billions)2

Adjusted Net Operating Income per Diluted Share3


1			For purposes of the bonus plan, NIW includes (i) traditional loan level insurance, (ii) loan level insurance executed through a managing agent or directly with a GSE or other entity, and (iii) credit risk transfer (calculated as 1/3 of the unpaid principal balance of the loans committed to be insured by us during the year). NIW received credit for bonus purposes only if its expected risk-adjusted return on capital exceeded the Company's hurdle rate. Because the NIW for the bonus plan includes a more comprehensive definition of NIW when compared to the primary NIW disclosed for financial reporting purposes, NIW figures shown in our financial reporting differ slightly from what is shown in this Proxy Statement.
2			For purposes of the bonus plan, IIF is the unpaid principal balance, as reported to us, of the loans insured by us, as of the end of the year, adjusted for financial impacts of GSE-mandated mortgage insurance cancellations inconsistent with prior business practices.
3			This is a non-GAAP measure of performance. For a description of how we calculate this measure and for a reconciliation of this measure to its nearest comparable GAAP measure, see Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

PROXY SUMMARY

Corporate Sustainability Highlights

As pioneers of the modern form of private mortgage insurance 65 years ago, MGIC has helped millions of families achieve homeownership sooner. This is a touchstone we come back to when we think about the work we do, how we do it, and why we do it. Homeownership can be a powerful vehicle for financial stability and generational wealth, which means that our impact – and our responsibility – extends well beyond the walls of our company, beyond our investors, beyond our customers, even beyond the consumers who use our product. Our work supports resilient communities and the social fabric at large.

Keeping this holistic picture in mind is critical to doing well by each of the audiences to whom we are accountable. Our initiatives benefit greatly from our highly-engaged Board of Directors, who provide essential vision and oversight, in partnership with the members of our Corporate Sustainability Executive Council, who advance these efforts at the management level, cascading our priorities down through functional areas of our business.

In our Corporate Sustainability Report, published on our website, you can see how our commitment bears out across the work we do, from our internal approach to human capital to our external considerations for environmental and social impact, including, most notably, our efforts in the affordable housing space. We are not including the information contained in that report as a part of, or incorporating it by reference into, this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Highlights

Pay Opportunity Mix. At-risk performance-based compensation represented a significant majority of the 2022 total direct compensation (TDC) opportunity of our NEOs.

Long-Term Equity Incentives. To align our long-term equity awards with the interests of shareholders, 100% of the long-term equity awards granted in February 2022 to our NEOs are performance-based and cliff vest after three years based on achievement of a three-year cumulative adjusted book value (ABV) per share growth goal.

Performance-Based Bonus. Our bonus program is designed to strongly align pay with our performance. Bonus payouts for 2022 were based on our achievement against three financial performance goals (return on equity (ROE), NIW and IIF), and performance against three specific business objectives.

Best Practices. Our compensation program is grounded in best practices, which include strong stock ownership guidelines for NEOs, no hedging or pledging of our stock, a long-standing “clawback” policy, limited change in control benefits (with no tax gross-ups) and modest perquisites.

Corporate Governance and Board Matters

The Board of Directors oversees the management of the Company and our business. The Board selects our CEO, who in conjunction with our senior management team, is responsible for operating our business.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, which set forth a framework for our governance. The Guidelines cover the Board’s composition, leadership, meeting process, director independence, Board membership criteria, limitations on other directorships, committee structure, succession planning and director compensation. Among other things, the Board meets in executive session outside the presence of any member of our management during at least two Board meetings annually and at any additional times determined by the Board or the Lead Director. Mr. Lehman presides at these sessions and has served as the Board’s Lead Director since July 2020. See “Board Leadership” for information about the Lead Director’s responsibilities and authority. The Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a director shall not be nominated by the Board for re‑election if at the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the director is age 74 or more. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that a director who retires from his or her principal employment or joins a new employer shall offer to resign from the Board. Unless the Board determines that a Chief Executive Officer who is Chairman of the Board should continue as Chairman of the Board after his or her tenure as Chief Executive Officer, a director who is an officer of the Company or a subsidiary and leaves the Company shall resign from the Board. In 2014, the Board determined that Mr. Culver should become non-executive Chairman of the Board upon retirement from his position as Chief Executive Officer in 2015.

We have a Code of Conduct and Ethics emphasizing our commitment to conducting our business in accordance with legal requirements and high ethical standards. The Code applies to all employees, including our executive officers, and is also applicable to our directors. Certain portions of the Code that apply to transactions with our executive officers, directors, and their immediate family members are described under “Other Matters – Related Person Transactions” below. These descriptions are subject to the actual terms of the Code.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Conduct and Ethics are available on our website (http://mtg.mgic.com) under the “Leadership & Governance; Documents” links. Written copies of these documents are available to any shareholder who submits a written request to our Secretary. We intend to disclose on our website any waivers from, or amendments to, our Code of Business Conduct that are subject to disclosure under applicable rules and regulations.

Director Independence

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines regarding director independence provide that a director is not independent if the director has any specified disqualifying relationship with us. The disqualifying relationships are equivalent to those of the independence rules of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), except that our disqualification for board interlocks is more stringent than under the NYSE rules. Also, for a director to be independent under the Guidelines, the director may not have any material relationship with us. For purposes of determining whether a disqualifying or material relationship exists, we consider relationships with MGIC Investment Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Board has determined that all of our directors except for Mr. Culver, our former CEO, and Mr. Mattke, our current CEO, are independent under the Guidelines and the NYSE rules. The Board made its

MGIC Investment Corporation – 2023 Proxy Statement │ 7

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

independence determinations by considering whether any disqualifying relationships existed during the periods specified under the Guidelines and the NYSE rules. To determine that there were no material relationships, the Board applied categorical standards that it had adopted and incorporated into our Corporate Governance Guidelines. All independent directors met these standards. Under these standards, a director is not independent if payments under transactions between us and a company of which the director is an executive officer or 10% or greater owner exceeded the greater of $1 million or 1% of the other company’s gross revenues. Payments made to and payments made by us are considered separately, and this quantitative threshold is applied to transactions that occurred in each of the three most recent fiscal years of the other company. Also under these standards, a director is not independent if during our last three fiscal years the director:

•was an executive officer or member of a law firm or investment banking firm providing services to us;

•was an executive officer of a charity to which we made contributions; or

•received any direct compensation from us other than as a director, or if during such period a member of the director’s immediate family received compensation from us.

In making its independence determinations, the Board considered payments we made to Moody’s Analytics (of which Dr. Zandi is an executive officer) for research and subscription services for Moody’s Economy.com and related publications, and payments to Moody’s Investors Service for credit rating services. These transactions were below the quantitative threshold contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and were entered into in the ordinary course of business by us, Moody’s Analytics and Moody’s Investors Service.

Related Person Transactions

Among other things, our Code of Conduct and Ethics prohibits us from entering into transactions in which our executive officers, chief accounting officer, or any their respective immediate family members have a material personal financial interest (either directly or through a company with which the officer has a material relationship) unless all of the following conditions are satisfied:

•the terms of the contract or transaction are fair and equitable, at arm’s length and are not detrimental to our interests;

•the existence and nature of the interests of the officer are fully disclosed to and approved by the Audit Committee; and

•the interested officer has not participated on our behalf in the consideration, negotiation or approval of the contract or transaction.

The Code defines a material interest as one in which our officer or officer's immediate family member is a director or officer of the counterparty to the transaction, or our officer or a member of our officer’s immediate family has a financial interest in such counterparty or any of its affiliates that in the aggregate at least 10% of the value of such counterparty or the consolidated value of the organization's affiliates. Our Audit Committee does not consider payments and benefits arising in the ordinary course of employment with us, or through services as a director, to be “transactions” subject to its approval.

In addition, the Code requires Audit Committee approval of all transactions with any director or a member of the director’s immediate family, other than transactions involving the provision of goods or services in the ordinary course of business of both parties. The Code contemplates that our non-management directors will disclose all transactions between us and parties related to the director, even if they are in the ordinary course of business.

Under its Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible to conduct a review and oversee all related party transactions for potential conflicts of interest and prohibit such transactions if the Committee determines them to be inconsistent with the interests of the Company. For purposes of the Charter,

8 │ MGIC Investment Corporation – 2023 Proxy Statement

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

“related party transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (or its affiliates) is a participant, the amount exceeds $120,000, and in which one of the following had or will have a direct or indirect material interest: an executive officer, director, or director nominee, or their immediate family members or persons sharing their households, or 5% shareholders.

Board Leadership

Mr. Culver serves as non-executive Chairman of the Board and Mr. Lehman serves as Lead Director. Under this structure, the Chairman chairs Board meetings, where the Board discussion includes strategic and business issues. The Board believes that this approach is appropriate because Mr. Culver, as the Company's former CEO, is very familiar with our business and strategic plans as reviewed by the Board. Mr. Culver joined the Company in 1985, and served as Chief Executive Officer from 2000 until his retirement in 2015, when he became our non-executive Chairman of the Board.

Because the Board also believes that strong, independent Board leadership is a critical aspect of effective corporate governance, the Board maintains the position of Lead Director. The Lead Director is an independent director selected by the independent directors. The Lead Director’s responsibilities and authority include:

•presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present;

•having the authority to call and lead executive sessions of directors without the presence of any director who is an officer (or if determined by the Board, a former officer) (the Board meets in executive session during at least two Board meetings each year);

•serving as a conduit between the CEO and the independent directors to the extent requested by the independent directors;

•serving as a conduit for the Board’s informational needs, including proposing topics for Board meeting agendas; and

•being available, if requested by major shareholders, for consultation and communication.

The Board believes that a leader intimately familiar with our business and strategic plans serving as Chairman, together with an experienced and engaged Lead Director, is the most appropriate leadership structure for the Board at this time. The Board periodically reviews the structure of the Board and the Board’s leadership.

Communicating with the Board

Shareholders and other interested persons can communicate with members of the Board, non-management members of the Board as a group or the Lead Director, by sending a written communication to our Secretary, addressed to: MGIC Investment Corporation, Secretary, P.O. Box 488, Milwaukee, WI 53201. The Secretary will pass along any such communication, other than a solicitation for a product or service, to the Lead Director.

MGIC Investment Corporation – 2023 Proxy Statement │ 9

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Director Selection

The Board believes that the Board, as a whole, should possess a combination of skills, professional experience, and diversity of backgrounds necessary to oversee our business. In addition, the Board believes there are certain attributes every director should possess, as reflected in the Board’s membership criteria. Accordingly, the Board and the Management Development, Nominating and Governance Committee (the Committee) consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs.

The Committee is responsible for developing Board membership criteria and recommending these criteria to the Board. The criteria, which are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, include an inquiring and independent mind, sound and considered judgment, high standards of ethical conduct and integrity, well-respected experience at senior levels of business, academia, government or other fields, ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board activities, anticipated tenure on the Board, and whether an individual will enable the Board to continue to have a substantial majority of independent directors. In addition, the Committee in conjunction with the Board, periodically evaluates the composition of the Board to assess the skills and experience that are currently represented on the Board, as well as the skills and experience that the Board will find valuable in the future. The Committee seeks a variety of occupational and personal backgrounds on the Board in order to obtain a range of viewpoints and perspectives and enable the Board to have access to a diverse body of talent and expertise relevant to our activities. The Committee also seeks to enhance the diversity of the Board in other areas, such as geography, age, race, gender and ethnicity. The Committee’s and the Board’s evaluation of the Board’s composition enables the Board to consider the skills and experience it seeks in the Board as a whole, and in individual directors, as our needs evolve and change over time and to assess the effectiveness of the Board’s efforts at pursuing diversity. In identifying director candidates from time to time, the Committee may establish specific skills and experience that it believes we should seek in order to constitute a balanced and effective board.

The table below summarizes certain skills and experiences considered important by the Board, how those skills and experiences are relevant to the Company and its business strategies, and how they are represented in the board members standing for election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Committee evaluates new director candidates considering these skills and experiences, and the criteria listed above, as well as other factors the Committee deems relevant, through background reviews, input from other members of the Board and our executive officers, and personal interviews with the candidates attended by at least the Committee Chair. The Committee will evaluate director candidates recommended by shareholders using the same process and criteria that apply to candidates from other sources.
