WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Aug. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The PMI Group, Inc. (NYSE: PMI) (the "Company") today announced that the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") has notified the Company that the Company has fallen below the NYSE's continued listing standard that requires a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive trading days.

Under NYSE rules, the Company has six months from receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement or until the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, if stockholder approval is required, to cure the deficiency. Subject to compliance with the NYSE's other listing requirements during the cure period, the Company's common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE.

The Company can regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month or on the last day of the cure period. If the Company takes an action that will require approval of its stockholders by its next annual meeting of stockholders, the condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above the level for at least the following 30 trading days. If the Company fails to regain compliance within the required time period, the NYSE will commence suspension and delisting procedures.

Under NYSE rules, the Company has ten business days following receipt of the notice to respond to the NYSE and indicate its intention to cure this deficiency or be subject to suspension and delisting procedures. The Company has notified the NYSE, within the required ten business-day period, that it will seek to cure the deficiency.

The Company's business operations, Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements and debt obligations are not affected by the receipt of the NYSE notification.
