RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enact Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACT) (Enact), a leading provider of private mortgage insurance through its insurance subsidiaries, announced that its flagship legal entity, Enact Mortgage Insurance Corporation, has secured $248 million of fully collateralized excess of loss reinsurance coverage through the issuance of an insurance-linked note (“ILN”) transaction with Triangle Re 2023-1 Ltd.

The ILNs are non-recourse to Enact Holdings, Inc., or its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The mortgage insurance-linked notes issued by Triangle Re 2023-1 consist of the following four classes:

• $106 million Class M-1A Notes with an initial interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 340 basis points
• $69 million Class M-1B Notes with an initial interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 525 basis points
• $55 million Class M-2 Notes with an initial interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 650 basis points
• $18 million Class B-1 Notes with an initial interest rate of one-month SOFR plus 740 basis points
