WALNUT CREEK, Calif., July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The PMI Group, Inc.'s (NYSE: PMI) (the "Company") primary subsidiary, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., announced the sale of its equity ownership in FGIC Corporation ("FGIC"), the holding company of Financial Guaranty Insurance Company. The financial terms of the sale were not disclosed.  The Company had impaired its investment in FGIC in the first quarter of 2008 and, consequently, did not recognize any losses from FGIC in 2009 or 2010.  While the proceeds from the sale of FGIC were not significant, PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. could potentially realize certain tax benefits in future periods from the disposition of FGIC.  Any potential tax benefits could be limited or delayed, and there can be no assurance whether or when any such tax benefits will be realized.  The Company's ability to recognize any such tax benefits will depend on, among other things, estimated future taxable income at the end of future financial reporting periods.
