As disclosed in The PMI Group, Inc.'s (the "Company") Report on Form 8-K, dated August 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Sale Deed ("Sale Deed") with QBE Insurance Group Limited ("QBE Parent") and QBE Holdings (AAP) Pty Limited ("QBE"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell its Asian subsidiary, PMI Mortgage Insurance Asia Limited ("PMI Asia") to QBE. Subsequently, on December 2, 2008, the Company, QBE Parent and QBE agreed in principle, as disclosed on the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated December 2, 2008, to amend certain terms of the Sale Deed. On December 17, 2008 (the "Closing Date"), the Company, QBE and QBE Parent entered into a Termination Deed to terminate the Sale Deed and the Company, QBE Parent and QBE Lenders' Mortgage Insurance Limited ("QBE LMI"), a subsidiary of QBE Parent, executed a new Share Sale Deed (the "HK Sale Deed"), under which the Company agreed to sell PMI Asia to QBE LMI, rather than to QBE, under the terms described in the Company's Reports on Form 8-K, dated August 29, 2008 and December 2, 2008.

As disclosed in the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated October 22, 2008, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. ("MIC"), the Company's U.S. subsidiary, completed the sale of its Australian subsidiary, PMI Mortgage Insurance Australia (Holdings) Pty Limited ("PMI Australia"), to QBE on October 22, 2008. In connection with the sale of PMI Australia, MIC and QBE Parent entered into a Note Deed (the "Australia Note") which was subject to reduction if, among other things, the performance of PMI Asia's existing insurance portfolio as of June 30, 2008 did not achieve specified targets ("Performance Reduction"). In connection with the close of the sale of PMI Asia, described in Item 2.01 below, the Company entered into an Amending Deed with QBE Parent with respect to the Australia Note and MIC, QBE and QBE Parent entered into a Third Amendment Agreement ("Third Amendment") to the parties' August 14, 2008 Share Sale Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to eliminate the Performance Reduction from the terms of the Australia Note and instead agreed to a potential reduction to the amount owed to MIC under the Australia Note in the event the Company is required to satisfy certain claims, including claims for breach of warranty under the HK Sale Deed, and such claims are not satisfied by the Company by April 1, 2010. These potential reductions to the Australia Note are in addition to those relating to the sale of PMI Australia that have previously been described in the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated October 22, 2008.

The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Termination Deed, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, the HK Sale Deed, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, the Amending Deed, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and the Third Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2, each of which is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The description of the HK Sale Deed set forth under Item 2.01 below and the descriptions of the Sale Deed set forth in the Company's Reports on Form 8-K, dated August 29, 2008 and December 2, 2008 are incorporated by reference herein.

On the Closing Date, the Company completed the sale of PMI Asia to QBE LMI under the HK Sale Deed. PMI Asia conducted the Company's mortgage insurance operations in Hong Kong. The terms of the HK Sale Deed are substantially similar to the terms of the Sale Deed, which were previously disclosed in the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated August 29, 2008, except that it includes changes to the purchase price, pre-completion adjustment and closing conditions that were previously agreed to in principle and disclosed on the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated December 2, 2008. The descriptions set forth in the Company's Reports on Form 8-K, dated August 29, 2008 and December 2,
