Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.

On December 8, 2010, MGIC Investment Corporation (the "Company") sent a notice to its executive officers and directors (the "Notice") informing them that they would be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions involving the Company’s common stock, during a blackout period (the "Blackout Period") under the MGIC Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan"). The Notice indicated that the Blackout Period will begin at 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) time on December 23, 2010 and will end during the week of January 9, 2011.

The reason for the Blackout Period is to facilitate a change in the Plan’s record keeper and custodian. During the Blackout Period, participants in the Plan will be temporarily unable to check account balances and transfer or diversify their investments, or to obtain a loan, withdrawal or distribution from their Plan account. Participants will still be able to make payroll and rollover contributions and loan repayments during the Blackout Period.

During the Blackout Period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the Blackout Period, a participant in the Plan, a security holder of the Company, or other interested persons may obtain, without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period, including confirmation of the actual ending date of the Blackout Period, by contacting the Company’s Human Resources Department at 250 East Kilbourn Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53202, or by telephone at 1-800-558-9900, extension 6853.
