SYMBOL LOOKUP

William Ratliff, the company's chairman of the board, will assume the position on an interim basis until a permanent replacement is found.

Tonnesen is retiring as Triad Guaranty ceases originating new business and enters run-off. Run-off is a situation where an insurer books no new business and instead generates revenue only from existing premiums.

Tonnesen will remain with the company as a consultant for two years following his retirement.

Like many other mortgage insurers, Triad Guaranty was hit hard over the past year by a spike in claims as mortgages increasingly default. Mortgage insurers pay out principal and interest when a mortgage borrower misses payments.

Triad Guaranty unsuccessfully attempted to raise new capital and create a new mortgage insurance business earlier in the year before deciding to go into run-off.

Shares of Triad rose 2 cents, or 3 percent, to 69 cents in morning trading.
