The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, the Company, and
certain of its officers and/or directors, violated federal securities
laws by withholding material facts from the investing public,
including: that the Company’s investment in Credit-Based Asset
Servicing and Securitization LLC (“C-BASS”) was materially impaired
from increasing margin calls and rapidly declining value; that the
Company was materially overstating its financial results by failing to
properly value its investment in C-BASS in violation of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles; and that the Company’s loss and default
exposure was far greater than previously disclosed.
On February 13, 2008, MGIC announced its fourth quarter 2007 results
reporting a net loss for the quarter of $1.47 billion, including an
after-tax charge of $33 million related to equity losses incurred by
C-BASS. After this announcement, MGIC’s stock traded at the lowest
price it had traded in over thirteen years.
