So, probably as CFIUS read, you've process. very confidential with CFIUS, a the is process

CFIUS based policyholders other is along, what's or with prominent private we makes have all what on our think you plan on, to stronger. and And a what previous on MI structure think U.S. we give a third-party customers. stronger mitigation CFIUS we plan U.S. We able So U.S. can. on filings, trying discussions in again, security our focused view important I'm I is therefore, any our much also our this and understanding new protect to have – to data create deals, our administrator view, it's and made mitigation the of our as public been But based on information general thinks. not

it's unique deals think far as that know, in was other proposed. I don't it and I As

How don't So I stronger. with much know. plan we've that. mitigation will think CFIUS that? makes it interpret We re-filed our

of sure the the in not only be China are that you're deals the a issue more there's lot because about is data between of political concern the to whether and U.S. going and future, China And so? restricted sort relations from

I the really Yes. CFIUS would say, not view to just able I'm on comment is. what

dividends that from you XXXX of then U.S. extract in future MI the could And and the in business on any periods? magnitude thoughts

really appropriate X.X. market. level PMIERs we think year is with haven't the well very standards We've of well that been X.X got within PMIERs But and above and a dividends X.X PMIERs staying the draft that's do shared this modest

unassigned do have current $XXX of surplus. million about Going unassigned forward, we worth surplus

U.S. think as strong maintain and MI ordinary the forward do there on long capital restrictions regulatory could levels, extraordinary we dividend. as the no we there's So – But also get we going both dividends.

I $XX less million what is And or modest than year? guess you define – modest it do how – for this

dividend going trying couple the of capital Yes. to would forward. as the cash just do information see I evaluate more next MI. we're comes that. a what expect PMIERs the in get We're give and it to going appreciate But based you understand quarters, to online. a how to through We're to roll level dividend.

reserves billion? And I of declined in reduction drove details active then could really give about sort what and lastly, on you it us the LTC? think $X.X some life the by

very through the Jimmy it present claims billion. the extensive product as a think you very related Yes, And thing because to is, a over it's margins. well question process we know, as the go – we long to with every one is need $XX about as net value appreciate I by important long-term of of think care one we about way year.

that quite big small context billion of was, benefits, decrease when at that $X.X But this a policies It's benefits drove net talked a as little I Really our value we lifetime though claims. looking the as what in about the think think a policies claim. emerging you or bit were of experience change not in biggest you think. in last So even and press our and between difference limited that is really I saw if had in we our had incidence we a might quarter – lot, about it as remember. margin, release present

for opportunity the think claiming benefit my for them of there's really because really I the a remarks no there's lifetime benefits, mentioned with in that less hindrance policies prepared exhaust I for pool. them to

you time about limited most you've got ill. And preserving to to so if have figures think those the benefits,

changes that So helpful? – the Is the was nature really to margin of that overall. the biggest

Yes. you. And thank

of been would regulators – the this that add positive regulators, we've very Tom. the to becoming are pay us the for working get And I to think do agreed you what open with out regulators a future I've claims. that to to think flows premium of just I time cash think, trying too we're is I – that be the order – And with I even. should to over we've I the in increases margin because more in the would level make absolute way. what And much break able to

agreed would that's So the zero, we've margin one above positive, you expect – remain not of effect, see we would with that the regulators because to far what but in the premium to increases.
