Ambac Financial Group September 2013

Mietek Biskupski, mietekbiskupski@yahoo.com

Overview Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (AFGI, Ambac or the Company) was founded in 1991 and insures public and structured finance obligations through its principal operating subsidiary, Ambac Assurance (AAC or the General Account). Ambac Assurance grew its premium volumes by moving into insured real-estate-based securities and student loans, increasing premiums over 250% between 1999 and 2008, and suffering heavy losses for their exposure starting in 2007. In September 2008 rating agencies started to downgrade Ambac, and Ambac Assurance stopped writing new insurance for municipal bonds the same year. Without a go-forward business model, suffering mounting losses in its structured finance portfolio and with a bond maturity looming in August 2011, Ambac filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2010. Emerging from bankruptcy in May 2013, Ambac Assurance is currently in runoff, no longer writing new business and trying to minimize losses on its insured portfolio and maximize returns on its investment portfolio. The public finance book was given claims-paying priority and the structured finance division was split-off into a segregated account. With its insurance portfolio in run-off, Ambacs goal is its maximize its investment in AAC by reducing recoveries on R&W breaches, developing new business initiatives to maximize the value of its NOLs and potential policy commutations. As a back-end equity, Ambac has potentially significant sources of value: 1) favorable R&W putback recoveries, 2) policy commutations and bond repurchases, 3) NOL utilizations, 4) reserve releases, and 5) the recognition of the unearned premiums over time on their municipal book. Plan of Reorganization AFGI voluntarily filed Chapter 11 on November 8, 2010 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Companys Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on March 14, 2012 As part of emerging from bankruptcy, Ambac executed a closing agreement with the IRS on April 30, 2013, to settle a dispute on accounting losses under CDS contracts and finalize the value of its NOLs. AFGI paid $1.9M and the segregated account paid $100M to the United States for back taxes and the IRS confirmed the Company to have $3.4B of NOLs available for carry-forward use. On May 1, 2013 (the Effective Date), the Reorganization Plan became effective and Ambac emerged from bankruptcy. Ambac distributed 45,000,000 shares of new common stock (AMBC) and 5,047,138 warrants (AMBCW) with an exercise price of $16.67 that can be exercised any time prior to April 30, 2023: 1) 43,946,750 shares to discharged senior debt of $1,246.1M; 2) 378,250 shares to discharged general unsecured claims of $14.3M; and 3) 675,000 shares to discharged subordinate debt of $444.2M. A further 10,000 shares can be issued to resolve remaining disputed general unsecured claims. Warrants of (1) 42,424 to allowed general unsecured claims and (2) 5,004,714 to subordinate debt securities were also issued. Ambacs old common stock received no recovery and was cancelled. Plan of Rehabilitation and the Segregated Account In March 2010, Ambac Assurance established the Segregated Account for an orderly run-off the Companys structured finance portfolio under the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI).

On the Effective Date (May 1, 2013) AAC transferred $30M from an escrow account to AFGI and the Segregated Account issued a Junior Surplus Note in the amount of $350M to AFGI. Via a secured note and a reinsurance agreement, all claims paying resources of AAC are rendered to pay liabilities at the Segregated Accountincluding Segregated Account Surplus Notes and Junior Surplus Notessubject to AAC maintaining a minimum policy holders surplus of $100M. In 2010, Ambac Assurance issued a 4.5% $2.0B Secured Note due in 2050 to the Segregated Account, on which the Segregated Account has the ability to demand payment to pay claims and other liabilities, though no payments can be made via the Secured Note if AACs policyholders surplus is below $100M. If liabilities exceed the $2.0B Secured Note, the Segregated Account can further demand payment under an excess of loss Reinsurance Agreement provided by AAC to pay claims, settlements or commutation payments, or surplus note payments, subject to $100M minimum policyholders surplus at AAC. In September 2012, the Segregated Account began paying policy claims in 25% cash and 75% Surplus Notes on the Segregated Account.

Recent Events The Rehabilitator may seek approval for the Segregated Account to make cash payments in excess of 25% on approx. 14 insured securities. This will allow cash flow in the related securitization trusts to reimburse AAC. Without making these full payments, AAC would realize lower levels of reimbursements as cash flow would be lost to uninsured holders. The Rehabilitator is seeking rulings from the IRS on amendments to the Segregated Account Rehabilitation Plan. The amendments would be for the Segregated Account to record permitted policy claims as outstanding policy obligations that accrue at 5.1%, rather than issue surplus notes.

FINANCIALS Until early 2007, nearly 50% of the new issue public finance market was insured, with approx. 25% market share to Ambac. For the full year 2006, public finance new issuance was $383B, with 48% of the new issue market receiving insurance and Ambac having 23% market share. Looking for growth outside its staid realm in municipal finance, Ambac moved into structured finance and grew its annual premiums nearly 3x from 1999 to 2008. Prior to this growth in premiums and exposures, Ambac enjoyed a loss ratio of approx. 4%-5% in 1999-2000 and was able to maintain a combined ratio of 23% or below until 2004. Starting in 2007 the loss ratio grew well over 100%, and reached over 600% in 2008 alone.

Ambacs Public, Structured and International Finance books have been in run-off since early 2007 and the Companys financial guarantee exposure has contracted significantly through the credit crisis. Run-off and policy commutations continue to dramatically reduce exposure, a source of considerable value for equity and junior security holders. Though Ambacs appearance in the market of increasing strength may complicate its commutation efforts, a 12% reduction in exposure in the first 6 months of 2013 alone is highly promising.

SOURCES OF VALUE While unable to write new business and largely unable to dividend cash to the holding company, Ambac maintains several sources of value that could provide value significantly above current book equity, including: R&W claims, NOLs, potential reserve releases, and unearned premium revenue.

1. R&W Claims Ambac records its recoveries on representation & warranty claims on RMBS transactions as either subrogation recoveries against loss reserves (when R&W recoveries are expected to be less than paid claims) or as a subrogation recoverable (R&W recoveries are expected to exceed paid claims). Prior settlements by insurers (eg, MBIA, Assured Guaranty) against mortgage underwriters provide an opportune path for Ambac to follow, and recent case law has strengthened the bargaining position for monoline insurers. As of 2Q13, Ambac records $2.8B of R&W recoveries on the balance sheet and is pursuing judgments against Bank of America, JP Morgan, EMC Mortgage Corporation and First Franklin Financial, among others.

Precedents MBIA. On May 7, 2013, BAC entered into a settlement with MBIA to resolve R&W litigation. As of 1Q13, the mortgages (1st and 2nd lien) in RMBS trusts covered by the settlement had an original principal balance of $54.8B and an unpaid principal balance of $19.2B. BAC will give MBIA consideration of $1.565B in cash, transfer $95M of MBIA notes, and terminate CDS contracts guaranteed by MBIA. BAC will also provide MBIA with a $500M secured credit facility and receive warrants to purchase 4.9% of MBIAs stock at $9.59 per share. Credit Suisse estimates (May 2013) the settlement amount to be $3B or approx. 70% of MBIAs estimated claims. Syncora. In July 2012, BAC settled with Syncora Guarantee for $375M. As of May, 2010, Syncora paid more than $145M in claims and had been given notice of another $257M, so the settlement represents approx. 90% of Syncoras losses. Assured Guaranty. In April, 2011, BAC agreed to pay $1.1B to Assured Guaranty to resolve R&W claims on 29 RMBS trusts. In addition, BAC entered into a loss-sharing agreement to reimburse Assured Guaranty for 80% of all paid losses on 21 first lien RMBS transactions, up to $6.6B of aggregate losses. In May, 2013 Assured Guaranty settled with UBS on RMBS R&W claims, receiving an initial cash payment of $358M and a loss-sharing reinsurance agreement, where UBS will reimburse Assured Guaranty for 85% of all future losses on specified RMBS transactions.

Assured Guaranty has so far (1Q13) received $3.4B in R&W put-back receipts for past and future recoveries and is pursuing additional litigation. AGOs 1Q13 RMBS outstanding of $17.1B compares to Ambacs $13.5B. The Companys current estimates consider they will receive subrogation recoveries of $1,488M in 2014 and $1,009M in 2015. A change in ultimate recoveries would have a significant impact on adjusted book value and ability to pay claims. Recent Case law improves environment for R&W settlements. On 2 April 2013, a New York intermediate appellate court ruled that an RMBS loan need not be in default to trigger [a banks] obligation to repurchase it from an RMBS or CMBS trust. The defendant, Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., argued that the repurchase obligation is only triggered when a loan defaults. MBIA Insurance Corporation argued that the repurchase obligation is triggered not only at the time of default, but if the originator inaccurately represented the credit quality of the loan and if that loan had a higher risk of loss than originally disclosed. The court ruled favorably with the monolines view. 2. NOLs According to an August 2013 CreditSights report, $166M of free NOLs ($245M of free NOLs were available at AAC as of 1Q13). These NOLs were generated by AAC after September, 2011 and will be used by AAC prior to any NOLs requiring tolling payments. $3.65B of NOLs were allocated to AAC as part of the IRS agreement, subject to tolling payments to AFGI on the below scale. The IRS will collect approx. 15% of these payments to AFGI from AAC for use of these NOLs.

Average rate for all NOLs: Total: $3,650M Source: Company reports

AFGI currently has an additional ~$1.3B of NOLs, and the Company expects to receive additional NOLs from IRS Rule 166 relating to the cost basis of impaired securities. While the Company has not disclosed the expected amount, it wont be huge, likely somewhere less than $1B, and would be split between AFGI and AAC without tolling payments.

A decline in housing starts since 2007 has eaten through the excess inventory built up in the 2003-2006 housing overbuild years, which should lead to home price increases and lower reserve requirements, closer in line with monoline peer Assured Guaranty.

The long-run average of 1.5M new homes per year to meet population growth was exceeded due to cheap financing, but an underbuild since the recession has led to this excess inventory being worked through and an uptick in housing construction has occurred. Housing starts in April 2013 have increased 13.1% Y/Y to 853k units.

The S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-20 Home Price Index implies home prices have stabilized after the housing boom/bust and are starting to rebound from current levels. The Mar-13 index value has increased 10.9% Y/Y, signaling a recovery in home prices and the housing market. Every 1% incremental RMBS reserve release, due to a recovery in the housing market or expectations closer to Assured Guaranty, will yield an additional $230M of equity value.

4. Realization of Unearned Premium Revenue Insurance premiums in the municipal market are paid in the form of non-refundable upfront premiums, collected at issuance, and are recognized over time. Before the underlying municipal bonds mature or are called, the upfront premiums received are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet as unearned revenue. Multiplying the balance sheet value of $2.6B in unearned premiums by the combined ratio of ~24% the Company experienced before it grew its premium volume outside of the municipal business provides $1.9B$2.0B of additional equity value to be recognized over the life of these policies. As of 2Q12, the Company records $1.7B of net unearned premiums in excess of expected losses, which may prove conservative if the post-2000 recession is an accurate guide to loss ratios. The fate of Detroit municipal obligations will be a critical factor.

New Initiatives Ambac is looking to develop or acquire a new business to make use of its NOLs, possibly advisory, asset servicing, asset management and insurance. Mentioning something financial guaranty related (eg servicing, investment management), Michael Fitzgerald IR gave no notice of timing but said Ambac is currently working on some things (6/10/13). The Company could raise capital via a potential rights offering to maintain proportionate equity ownership and protect NOLs. In the 2Q13 10-Q, the Company wants to raise $135M-$190M of equity capital to invest in portfolios similar in nature to Ambac Assurance. MANAGEMENT Diana N. Adams - President and CEO since July 2011.

Further Potential Upside Commutations on policies Subrogation recoveries beyond balance sheet assets Risks Municipal default risk Municipal defaults and bondholder haircuts may prove more popular now than during the post-2000 recession, with potentially higher loss ratios than during that period of market stress. This would lower the unearned premium revenue ultimately ascribed to equity in ABV. Current reserves prove inadequate For 1Q13 the highest stress scenario reasonably possible would require additional reserve of a) $1,058M for RMBS, b) $858M for student loans, and c) $1,373M for all credits. Unable to develop or acquire a new business Ambacs NOL value is affected by its ability to use them by acquiring or developing a profitable business, which it may be unable to do successfully. Interest rates AFGIs assets include a $350M junior surplus note with a 2020 maturity, and equity interest in AAC, which is similar to a long-dated call option as it is the residual value in the insurance subsidiary. Both the junior surplus notes and call-like equity interest would be sensitive to interest rates. R&W claims Ambac fails to achieve recoveries on R&W breaches as successfully as peers, which are already recorded as assets on the balance sheet.
