Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	These securities were awarded to the reporting person pursuant to the Issuer's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, are subject to certain restrictions, and vest on January 26, 2007.
(2)	These securities were awarded to the reporting person pursuant to the Issuer's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and no price was paid by the reporting person for the securities.
(3)	The reporting person participates in the MGIC Investment Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors under which units corresponding to shares of Common Stock of the Issuer ("Share Units") are acquired through compensation deferral. Dividends which would have been received on shares represented by Share Units are also invested in Share Units. The Share Units are settled in cash, generally at the time the reporting person ceases to be a Director of the Issuer.
(4)	These Share Units do not have a specified dollar-denominated exercise or conversion price. (Their value is based, on a one-for-one basis, on the price of the Issuer's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.)
(5)	These Share Units do not become exercisable or expire on a fixed date. (Generally, the Share Units become payable at the time the reporting person ceases to be a Director of the Issuer.)
