SECTION 8-OTHER EVENTS

ITEM 8.01-OTHER EVENTS

Triad  Guaranty  Inc.  (the  "Company")  announced  on November 2, 2005 that the
transaction with Collateral  Investment Corp. ("CIC"),  previously  announced on
May 18, 2005 and  described  in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 20, 2005,
has been completed. In the transaction,  CIC, which holds approximately 17.4% of
the outstanding  common stock of Triad,  transferred all of its 2,573,551 shares
of Triad  common  stock to the Company in exchange  for  2,528,514  newly issued
shares of Triad common stock,  representing a discount of approximately 1.75% to
the Company.  CIC plans to liquidate  and  distribute  the newly issued  Company
shares to the CIC  shareholders.  As a result,  the CIC  shareholders  will have
direct ownership of the Company shares rather than an indirect  interest through
CIC, thereby allowing  shareholders to obtain liquidity for their Company shares
on a restricted basis over time.

The Company's  press release  announcing the  completion of this  transaction is
incorporated herein by reference and is filed as an exhibit to this Report.
