MBIA ESTABLISHES SEPARATE PUBLIC FINANCE BOND INSURANCE COMPANY
AND ADVANCES TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY

MOVE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE CRITICAL LIQUIDITY TO THE MUNICIPAL BOND
MARKET

ARMONK, N.Y., February 18, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MBIA Inc. (NYSE: MBI) today
announced that it has established a new U.S. public finance financial guarantee insurance
company within the MBIA Inc. group by restructuring (the “Transformation”) its principal
insurance subsidiary, MBIA Insurance Corporation (“MBIA Corp.”). As part of the
Transformation, the stock of MBIA Insurance Corp. of Illinois, a public finance financial
guarantee insurance company, was transferred by MBIA Corp. to a newly established
intermediate holding company, which is itself a subsidiary of MBIA Inc. This operating
structure will facilitate both transparency and future capital raising efforts. MBIA Insurance
Corp. of Illinois is expected to be renamed National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation
(“MBIA Illinois” or “National”).

quot;Today’s announcement is the first major step toward transforming our business for the
future as I outlined when I returned to MBIA last February,” said Jay Brown, MBIA CEO.
quot;With this company, we have a new, well-capitalized financial guarantee insurer dedicated
exclusively to the U.S. public finance market. As we previously stated, we intend to
operate our municipal business as a separate operating and legal entity that will have no
exposure to structured finance business. This split formalizes that commitment. We
believe this new business model will not only preserve the interests of both our public
finance and structured finance policyholders and enhance value for our shareholders, but
will benefit the U.S. public finance markets as well.

“Our new enterprise is intended to enhance the ability of states and municipalities to invest
in critical infrastructure, facilitating the creation of new jobs while reducing the burden on
taxpayers,” Mr. Brown continued. “As new insured municipal bonds are issued, I expect
the public finance markets will begin to thaw, freeing up much needed capital for future
projects. Ultimately we intend to be back in the structured finance and international
markets, but we will maintain strong operational and legal separation between those
businesses and the U.S. public finance business.

“We are grateful for the extraordinary efforts of the New York and Illinois Insurance
Departments, whose guidance and support have helped us reach this important step in our
Transformation,” said Mr. Brown.
National, as MBIA Illinois, was acquired in 1989 and was formerly a direct subsidiary of
MBIA Corp. MBIA Illinois intends to apply for approval to redomesticate from Illinois to New
York, as well as to change its name.

As part of the restructuring, MBIA Corp. has ceded to National all of MBIA Corp.’s U.S.
public finance business, including assigning its rights and obligations with respect to the
U.S. public finance business of Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (“FGIC”) that was
reinsured by MBIA Corp. The portfolio transferred to National by reinsurance or through
the assignment of the FGIC portfolio consists entirely of U.S. public finance business with
total net par outstanding of approximately $537 billion (as of September 30, 2008). The
reinsurance and assignment, which became effective as of January 1, 2009, enable
covered policyholders to make claims for payment directly against National in accordance
with the terms of the cut-through provisions of the applicable agreements.

To provide additional protection for its municipal bond policyholders, MBIA Illinois has also
issued second-to-pay policies for the benefit of the policyholders covered by the
reinsurance and assignment. The second-to-pay policies, which are a direct obligation of
MBIA Illinois, will be held by The Bank of New York Mellon as insurance trustee. These
policies provide that if MBIA Corp. or FGIC, as applicable, do not pay valid claims of their
policyholders, the policyholders will then be able to make a claim directly against National
under the second-to-pay policies. MBIA Corp. will continue to insure its remaining book of
structured finance and international business, as well as the Guaranteed Investment
Contracts and Medium Term Notes managed by MBIA Asset Management. MBIA Corp.
plans to resume business in the international public finance and global structured finance
markets when its ratings and market conditions permit. As a result of the Transformation,
National is one of the only substantial financial guarantee insurers in the U.S. dedicated
solely to the U.S. public finance business.

In connection with the reinsurance and assignment transactions, MBIA Corp. paid to
National approximately $2.89 billion (which is equal to the net unearned premium, loss and
loss adjustment expense reserves, net of the ceding commission) as a premium to reinsure
the policies covered by the reinsurance and assignment agreements. MBIA Corp. received
a 22 percent ceding commission on the unearned premium reserve. In addition to the
$2.89 billion, National has been further capitalized with $2.09 billion from funds distributed
by MBIA Corp. to MBIA Inc. as a dividend and return of capital, which MBIA Inc. in turn
contributed through an intermediate holding company to National. The rating agencies
have not yet announced ratings for National. However, regardless of the outcome of the
rating agencies’ analysis in the short term, National is expected to be capitalized to achieve
high stable ratings in order to provide market access and lower-cost funds to public issuers
over the long term.

The Board of Directors of National will maintain strong oversight of the portfolio and credit
process. National’s surveillance and risk management functions, including all business
development and transaction underwriting, are fully independent of MBIA Corp. and will
reside entirely within National. Consistent with the Company’s policy decision last
February, National will not use credit derivatives to guarantee new insurance transactions.

In addition to a transfer of public finance and other staff to National from MBIA Corp.,
National has entered into services agreements with MBIA Corp. to provide to each other




                                           -2-
certain administrative and other support services. National’s entire portfolio will be posted
on www.MBIA.com until its new website is launched, and it will be updated monthly to
provide maximum transparency and investor analysis at a detailed level.

MBIA Inc.’s other operations consist of the existing global structured finance, non-U.S.
public finance and asset management businesses. MBIA Inc. believes that each of the
legal entities in the group that conduct this business remain adequately capitalized with
claims-paying resources and liquidity that will permit these entities to continue to meet all of
their expected obligations as and when they become due.

MBIA Corp. and National received the required regulatory approvals from New York and
Illinois prior to executing this restructuring.

MBIA Letter

  • 1. MBIA Inc. 113 King Street Armonk, NY 10504 www.mbia.com NEWS RELEASE MBIA, Media: Kevin Brown +1-914-765-3648 MBIA, Media: Elizabeth James +1-914-765-3889 MBIA, Investor Relations: Greg Diamond +1-914-765-3190 MBIA ESTABLISHES SEPARATE PUBLIC FINANCE BOND INSURANCE COMPANY AND ADVANCES TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY MOVE EXPECTED TO PROVIDE CRITICAL LIQUIDITY TO THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET ARMONK, N.Y., February 18, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- MBIA Inc. (NYSE: MBI) today announced that it has established a new U.S. public finance financial guarantee insurance company within the MBIA Inc. group by restructuring (the “Transformation”) its principal insurance subsidiary, MBIA Insurance Corporation (“MBIA Corp.”). As part of the Transformation, the stock of MBIA Insurance Corp. of Illinois, a public finance financial guarantee insurance company, was transferred by MBIA Corp. to a newly established intermediate holding company, which is itself a subsidiary of MBIA Inc. This operating structure will facilitate both transparency and future capital raising efforts. MBIA Insurance Corp. of Illinois is expected to be renamed National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“MBIA Illinois” or “National”). quot;Today’s announcement is the first major step toward transforming our business for the future as I outlined when I returned to MBIA last February,” said Jay Brown, MBIA CEO. quot;With this company, we have a new, well-capitalized financial guarantee insurer dedicated exclusively to the U.S. public finance market. As we previously stated, we intend to operate our municipal business as a separate operating and legal entity that will have no exposure to structured finance business. This split formalizes that commitment. We believe this new business model will not only preserve the interests of both our public finance and structured finance policyholders and enhance value for our shareholders, but will benefit the U.S. public finance markets as well. “Our new enterprise is intended to enhance the ability of states and municipalities to invest in critical infrastructure, facilitating the creation of new jobs while reducing the burden on taxpayers,” Mr. Brown continued. “As new insured municipal bonds are issued, I expect the public finance markets will begin to thaw, freeing up much needed capital for future projects. Ultimately we intend to be back in the structured finance and international markets, but we will maintain strong operational and legal separation between those businesses and the U.S. public finance business. “We are grateful for the extraordinary efforts of the New York and Illinois Insurance Departments, whose guidance and support have helped us reach this important step in our Transformation,” said Mr. Brown.
  • 2. National, as MBIA Illinois, was acquired in 1989 and was formerly a direct subsidiary of MBIA Corp. MBIA Illinois intends to apply for approval to redomesticate from Illinois to New York, as well as to change its name. As part of the restructuring, MBIA Corp. has ceded to National all of MBIA Corp.’s U.S. public finance business, including assigning its rights and obligations with respect to the U.S. public finance business of Financial Guaranty Insurance Company (“FGIC”) that was reinsured by MBIA Corp. The portfolio transferred to National by reinsurance or through the assignment of the FGIC portfolio consists entirely of U.S. public finance business with total net par outstanding of approximately $537 billion (as of September 30, 2008). The reinsurance and assignment, which became effective as of January 1, 2009, enable covered policyholders to make claims for payment directly against National in accordance with the terms of the cut-through provisions of the applicable agreements. To provide additional protection for its municipal bond policyholders, MBIA Illinois has also issued second-to-pay policies for the benefit of the policyholders covered by the reinsurance and assignment. The second-to-pay policies, which are a direct obligation of MBIA Illinois, will be held by The Bank of New York Mellon as insurance trustee. These policies provide that if MBIA Corp. or FGIC, as applicable, do not pay valid claims of their policyholders, the policyholders will then be able to make a claim directly against National under the second-to-pay policies. MBIA Corp. will continue to insure its remaining book of structured finance and international business, as well as the Guaranteed Investment Contracts and Medium Term Notes managed by MBIA Asset Management. MBIA Corp. plans to resume business in the international public finance and global structured finance markets when its ratings and market conditions permit. As a result of the Transformation, National is one of the only substantial financial guarantee insurers in the U.S. dedicated solely to the U.S. public finance business. In connection with the reinsurance and assignment transactions, MBIA Corp. paid to National approximately $2.89 billion (which is equal to the net unearned premium, loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, net of the ceding commission) as a premium to reinsure the policies covered by the reinsurance and assignment agreements. MBIA Corp. received a 22 percent ceding commission on the unearned premium reserve. In addition to the $2.89 billion, National has been further capitalized with $2.09 billion from funds distributed by MBIA Corp. to MBIA Inc. as a dividend and return of capital, which MBIA Inc. in turn contributed through an intermediate holding company to National. The rating agencies have not yet announced ratings for National. However, regardless of the outcome of the rating agencies’ analysis in the short term, National is expected to be capitalized to achieve high stable ratings in order to provide market access and lower-cost funds to public issuers over the long term. The Board of Directors of National will maintain strong oversight of the portfolio and credit process. National’s surveillance and risk management functions, including all business development and transaction underwriting, are fully independent of MBIA Corp. and will reside entirely within National. Consistent with the Company’s policy decision last February, National will not use credit derivatives to guarantee new insurance transactions. In addition to a transfer of public finance and other staff to National from MBIA Corp., National has entered into services agreements with MBIA Corp. to provide to each other -2-
  • 3. certain administrative and other support services. National’s entire portfolio will be posted on www.MBIA.com until its new website is launched, and it will be updated monthly to provide maximum transparency and investor analysis at a detailed level. MBIA Inc.’s other operations consist of the existing global structured finance, non-U.S. public finance and asset management businesses. MBIA Inc. believes that each of the legal entities in the group that conduct this business remain adequately capitalized with claims-paying resources and liquidity that will permit these entities to continue to meet all of their expected obligations as and when they become due. MBIA Corp. and National received the required regulatory approvals from New York and Illinois prior to executing this restructuring.
