GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arch Mortgage Insurance Company (Arch MI) announced that it has obtained over $616 million of indemnity reinsurance on a pool representing approximately $36 billion of mortgages from Bellemeade Re 2021-2 Ltd., a special purpose reinsurer. The coverage was obtained by issuing approximately $523 million in bonds and $93 million in direct reinsurance. This transaction largely covers a portfolio of MI policies issued by Arch MI and affiliates from December 2020 through March 2021.
This Mortgage Insurance-Linked Note (MILN) transaction is Arch's second of 2021 and the 16th Bellemeade transaction since the program's inception in 2015. This marks the second Bellemeade transaction to use the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the benchmark rate for pricing instead of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR).
Bellemeade Re 2021-2 Ltd. is funding its reinsurance obligations through the issuance of five classes of amortizing notes with 10-year legal final maturities.
The senior M-1A class of notes received an A1 rating from Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) and BBB (high) from DBRS Morningstar. The M1B class of notes received a Baa1 from Moody's and BBB from DBRS Morningstar. The M-1C, M-2 and B-1 received Baa3, B1 and B3 ratings, respectively from Moody's. Those three classes were not rated by DBRS Morningstar. Additionally, Arch created a B2 class of notes for this transaction that it will not issue at this time.
Pricing detail for the five classes of offered notes is below:
A total of $93,214,000 was placed with a panel of reinsurers.

"This transaction's execution represents the broadest investor participation at the best pricing for current exposure in the Bellemeade program's history," said Jim Bennison, EVP, Alternative Markets for Arch MI. "We believe investors have concluded that the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are behind us."
