SECTION 3-SECURITIES AND TRADING MARKETS

ITEM 3.02-UNREGISTERED SHARES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

As previously reported in the Triad Guaranty Inc. (the "Company") Form 8-K filed
on  November 2, 2005,  the  Company  completed  a  transaction  with  Collateral
Investment Corp. ("CIC") in which CIC transferred all of its 2,573,551 shares of
the Company's common stock to the Company in exchange for 2,528,514 newly issued
shares of the Company's common stock.  The 2,573,551  shares  transferred by CIC
were  subsequently  retired  by  the  Company,   resulting  in  a  reduction  of
outstanding  shares  of the  Company  of  45,037.  CIC  plans to  liquidate  and
distribute the newly issued Company shares to the CIC shareholders.

The  newly  issued  shares  were  issued by the  Company  in  reliance  upon the
exemption  provided by section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Securities  Act") as an exchange of its common shares with its existing common
stockholders of the Company where no commission or other  remuneration  was paid
or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.

The  distribution  of the newly issued shares of Company common stock to the CIC
shareholders upon liquidation of CIC will be made in reliance on section 2(a)(3)
under the  Securities  Act as not an  "offer  to sell" or  "sale" of  securities
within the  meaning of that  section of the  Securities  Act.  The  Division  of
Corporate Finance of the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the  "Commission")
issued  its  letter  dated  August  12,  2005  stating  that on the basis of the
representations made it will not recommend  enforcement action to the Commission
if  CIC  effects  the  proposed  distribution  without  registration  under  the
Securities Act.
