Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties | Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties Summary MBIA Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, (collectively, “MBIA” or the “Company”) operates within the financial guarantee insurance industry. MBIA manages three operating segments: 1) United States (“U.S.”) public finance insurance; 2) corporate; and 3) international and structured finance insurance. The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance business is managed through National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (“National”), the corporate segment is operated through MBIA Inc. and several of its subsidiaries, including its service company, MBIA Services Corporation (“MBIA Services”) and its international and structured finance insurance business is primarily operated through MBIA Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries (“MBIA Corp.”). Refer to “Note 10: Business Segments” for further information about the Company’s operating segments. Business Developments Puerto Rico On January 1, 2023, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (“PREPA”) defaulted on scheduled debt service for National insured bonds and National paid gross claims in the aggregate of $18 million. As of March 31, 2023, National had $1.0 billion of debt service outstanding related to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and certain of its instrumentalities (“Puerto Rico”), of which $926 million related to PREPA. PREPA On March 8, 2022, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (“AAFAF”) and PREPA terminated the restructuring support agreement. On April 8, 2022, the Court appointed a new panel of judges to commence mediation among the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (the “Oversight Board”), the Ad Hoc creditor group of holders of PREPA Senior Bonds, Assured, National and Syncora. The mediation initially terminated on September 16, 2022; however on September 29, 2022 the Court entered an order restarting mediation through January 31, 2023. Mediation has since been further continued until July 28, 2023. On January 31, 2023, National entered into the PREPA Plan Support Agreement (“PREPA PSA”) with the Oversight Board, on behalf of itself and as the sole Title III representative of PREPA. On February 9, 2023, the Oversight Board filed an amendment to PREPA’s Plan of Adjustment originally filed with the Title III Court on December 16, 2022 (the “Amended Plan”), that reflects the entry into the PREPA PSA and the settlement described therein. The PREPA PSA provides, among other things, for the consensual resolution of the treatment of claims held by National related to insured PREPA revenue bonds and the settlement of National’s participation in litigation related to such claims. The PREPA PSA provides that, upon the effective date of a plan of adjustment, National shall receive in exchange for its bond and reimbursement claims newly issued PREPA secured revenue bonds together with certain fees and expense reimbursement payments, including an interim payment subject to regulatory approval. The PREPA PSA also provides National with the potential to receive additional consideration. The PREPA PSA remains subject to a number of conditions, including (but not limited to) the Title III Court’s approval, and confirmation and effectiveness, of the Amended Plan. There is no assurance that the Amended Plan or a substantially similar plan of adjustment will ultimately be confirmed and go effective. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” for a further discussion of the Company’s Puerto Rico reserves and recoveries. Zohar CDOs Payment of claims on MBIA Corp.’s policies insuring the Class A-1 A-2 2003-1, 2005-1, , The interests in the asset recovery entities include various loans to and equity interest in portfolio companies. For those portfolio companies in which the Company does not have a majority of the voting interest, the Company recorded these assets as investments. For those portfolio companies in which the Company owns a majority of the voting interest, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities, and financial results of these companies. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment and ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations, certain of these portfolio companies met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. Refer to the following “Discontinued Operations” section below for further information about the Company’s discontinued operations. In addition, certain of the Zohar debtors’ litigation claims were transferred into a litigation trust that the Company consolidated as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Discontinued Operations For those portfolio companies in which the Company acquired an interest and which have met the criteria for held for sale classification in accordance with ASC 360, the Company classified these entities as held for disposition. Accordingly, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of consolidated portfolio companies and the interests in certain nonconsolidated portfolio companies as held for sale. Furthermore, as these entities met the one-year probable sale criteria on the acquisition date, and the remaining held for sale criteria within a short period following the acquisition date, these entities were classified as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 205. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities of these entities are presented within “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the results of operations for these entities are classified as “Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes” on the of In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes of $18 million to correct the overstatement of a loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the loss on disposal group. Additionally, the Company recorded a loss from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first quarter of 2023 of $8 million to correct the overstatement of a loss attributable to noncontrolling interests recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company evaluated the materiality of these errors in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that these errors, individually and in the aggregate, were immaterial to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the prior period to which these errors relate. The following table summarizes the components of assets and liabilities held for sale: As of In millions March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets held for sale Cash $ 10 $ 12 Accounts receivable 21 24 Goodwill 90 90 Other assets 13 8 Loss on disposal group (51) (54) Total assets held for sale $ 83 $ 80 Liabilities held for sale Accounts payable $ 11 $ 12 Debt 34 30 Accrued expenses and other 23 19 Total liabilities held for sale $ 68 $ 61 The results of operations from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consist of the following: In millions Revenues Revenues $ 32 Cost of sales 17 Total revenues from discontinued operations 15 Expenses Operating 20 Interest 1 Increase (decrease) on loss on disposal group (3) Total expenses from discontinued operations 18 Income (loss) before income taxes from discontinued operations (3 ) Provision (benefit) for income taxes from discontinued operations - Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes $ (3 ) Risks and Uncertainties The Company’s financial statements include estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The outcome of certain significant risks and uncertainties could cause the Company to revise its estimates and assumptions or could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The discussion below highlights the significant risks and uncertainties that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements and business objectives in future periods. National’s Insured Portfolio National continues to monitor and remediate its existing insured portfolio and may also pursue strategic alternatives that could enhance shareholder value. Certain state and local governments and territory obligors that National insures are under financial and budgetary stress. This could lead to an increase in defaults by such entities on the payment of their obligations and losses or impairments on a greater number of National’s insured transactions. In particular, PREPA is currently in bankruptcy-like proceedings in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. While National has entered into an agreement to support a plan to resolve the PREPA proceeding, PREPA may continue to fail to make payments when due, which could cause National to make additional claims payments which could be material. There is no assurance the PREPA amended plan of adjustment will ultimately be confirmed and go effective. National monitors and analyzes these situations and other stressed credits closely, and the overall extent and duration of this stress is uncertain. MBIA Corp.’s Insured Portfolio MBIA Corp.’s primary objectives are to satisfy all claims by its policyholders and to maximize future recoveries, if any, for its surplus note holders, and then its preferred stock holders. MBIA Corp. is executing this strategy by, among other things, taking steps to maximize the collection of recoveries and by reducing and mitigating potential losses on its insurance exposures. MBIA Corp.’s insured portfolio performance could deteriorate and result in additional significant loss reserves and claim payments. MBIA Corp.’s ability to meet its obligations is limited by available liquidity and its ability to secure additional liquidity through financing and other transactions. There can be no assurance that MBIA Corp. will be successful in generating sufficient resources to meet its obligations. Recoveries In addition to the recoveries on the Zohar Collateral, MBIA Corp. also projects to collect recoveries from prior claims associated with insured residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”); however, the amount and timing of these collections are uncertain. Failure to collect its expected recoveries could impede MBIA Corp.’s ability to make payments when due on other policies. MBIA Corp. believes that if the New York State Department of Financial Services (“NYSDFS”) concludes at any time that MBIA Insurance Corporation will not be able to pay its policyholder claims, the NYSDFS would likely put MBIA Insurance Corporation into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the New York Insurance Law (“NYIL”) and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation’s policyholders. The determination to commence such a proceeding or take other such actions is within the exclusive control of the NYSDFS. Given the separation of MBIA Inc. and MBIA Corp. as distinct legal entities, the absence of any cross defaults between the entities and the lack of reliance by MBIA Inc. on MBIA Corp. for dividends, the Company does not believe that a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding with respect to MBIA Insurance Corporation would have any significant liquidity impact on MBIA Inc. Such a proceeding could have material adverse consequences for MBIA Corp., including the termination of derivative contracts for which counterparties may assert market-based claims, the acceleration of debt obligations issued by affiliates and insured by MBIA Corp., the loss of control of MBIA Insurance Corporation to a rehabilitator or liquidator, and unplanned costs. Refer to “Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” for additional information about MBIA Corp.’s recoveries. Corporate Liquidity Based on the Company’s projections of National’s dividends and other cash inflows, the Company expects that MBIA Inc. will have sufficient cash to satisfy its debt service and general corporate needs. However, MBIA Inc. continues to have liquidity risk that could be caused by interruption of or reduction in dividends from National, deterioration in the performance of invested assets, impaired access to the capital markets, as well as other factors, which are not anticipated at this time. Furthermore, failure by MBIA Inc. to settle liabilities that are insured by MBIA Corp. could result in claims on MBIA Corp. |

Variable Interest Entities | Note 4: Variable Interest Entities Primarily through MBIA’s international and structured finance insurance segment, the Company provides credit protection to issuers of obligations that may involve issuer-sponsored special purpose entities (“SPEs”). An SPE may be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to the extent the SPE’s total equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the SPE to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or its equity investors lack any one of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the SPE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. A holder of a variable interest or interests in a VIE is required to assess whether it has a controlling financial interest, and thus is required to consolidate the entity as primary beneficiary. An assessment of a controlling financial interest identifies the primary beneficiary as the variable interest holder that has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. An ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest is required to be performed based on any substantive changes in facts and circumstances involving the VIE and its variable interests. The Company evaluates issuer-sponsored SPEs initially to determine if an entity is a VIE, and is required to reconsider its initial determination if certain events occur. For all entities determined to be VIEs, MBIA performs an ongoing reassessment to determine whether its guarantee to provide credit protection on obligations issued by VIEs provides the Company with a controlling financial interest. Based on its ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest, the Company determines whether a VIE is required to be consolidated or deconsolidated. The Company makes its determination for consolidation based on a qualitative assessment of the purpose and design of a VIE, the terms and characteristics of variable interests of an entity, and the risks a VIE is designed to create and pass through to holders of variable interests. The Company generally provides credit protection on obligations issued by VIEs, and holds certain contractual rights according to the purpose and design of a VIE. The Company may have the ability to direct certain activities of a VIE depending on facts and circumstances, including the occurrence of certain contingent events, and these activities may be considered the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. The Company generally considers its guarantee of principal and interest payments of insured obligations, given nonperformance by a VIE, to be an obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. At the time the Company determines it has the ability to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity based on facts and circumstances, MBIA is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in the VIE and is required to consolidate the entity as primary beneficiary. The Company performs an ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest that may result in consolidation or deconsolidation of any VIE. Consolidated VIEs The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are presented separately in “Assets of consolidated variable interest entities” and “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. VIEs are consolidated or deconsolidated based on an ongoing reassessment of controlling financial interest, when events occur or circumstances arise, and whether the ability to exercise rights that constitute power to direct activities of any VIE are present according to the design and characteristics of these entities. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company deconsolidated one structured finance VIE due to the prepayment of the outstanding notes of the VIE and recorded losses of $15 million primarily due to credit losses in AOCI that were released to earnings. During the first quarter of 2022, there were no consolidation or deconsolidation of VIEs by the Company. Consolidation and deconsolidation gains and losses, if any, are recorded within “Other net realized gains (losses)” under “Revenues of consolidated variable interest entities” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Holders of insured obligations of issuer-sponsored VIEs do not have recourse to the general assets of the Company. In the event of nonpayment of an insured obligation issued by a consolidated VIE, the Company is obligated to pay principal and interest, when due, on the respective insured obligation only. The Company’s exposure to consolidated VIEs is limited to the credit protection provided on Nonconsolidated VIEs The following tables present the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for nonconsolidated VIEs and carrying values of the assets and liabilities for its interests in these VIEs in its insurance operations as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The maximum exposure to loss as a result of MBIA’s variable interests in VIEs is represented by insurance in force. Insurance in force is the maximum future payments of principal and interest which may be required under commitments to make payments on insured obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs. The Company has aggregated nonconsolidated VIEs based on the underlying credit exposure of the insured obligation. The nature of the Company’s variable interests in nonconsolidated VIEs is related to financial guarantees and any investments in obligations issued by nonconsolidated VIEs.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves | Note 5: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves U.S. Public Finance Insurance U.S. public finance insured transactions consist of municipal bonds, including tax-exempt and taxable indebtedness of U.S. political subdivisions, as well as utilities, airports, health care institutions, higher educational facilities, housing authorities and other similar agencies and obligations issued by private entities that finance projects that serve a substantial public purpose. The Company estimates future losses by using probability-weighted cash flow scenarios that are customized to each insured transaction. Future loss estimates consider debt service due for each insured transaction, which includes par outstanding and interest due, as well as recoveries for such payments, if any. Gross par outstanding for capital appreciation bonds represents the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy. Puerto Rico In formulating loss reserves and recoveries for its Puerto Rico exposures, estimates in the Company’s probability-weighted scenarios include assumptions related to the nature, value, and timing of net cash flows considering the following: environmental, economic, and political developments on the island; litigation and ongoing discussions with creditors and obligors on the Title III proceedings; contractual debt service payments; any existing settlement agreements or proposals and deviations from these proposals; the remediation strategy for insured obligations that have defaulted or are expected to default; and values of other obligations of the issuer. Refer to “Note 1: Business Developments and Risks and Uncertainties” for further information on the Company’s Puerto Rico exposures and “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” for information on the Company’s Puerto Rico litigation. International and Structured Finance Insurance The international and structured finance insurance segment’s case basis reserves and insurance loss recoveries recorded in accordance with GAAP do not include reserves and recoveries on consolidated VIEs, since they are eliminated in consolidation. RMBS Case Basis Reserves (Financial Guarantees) The Company’s RMBS case basis reserves primarily relate to RMBS backed by alternative A-paper and subprime mortgage loans. The Company calculated RMBS case basis reserves as of March 31, 2023 using a process called the Roll Rate Methodology (“Roll Rate Methodology”). The Roll Rate Methodology is a multi-step process using databases of loan level information, proprietary internal cash flow models, and commercially available models to estimate potential losses and recoveries on insured bonds. Roll Rate is defined as the probability that current loans become delinquent and subsequently default and loans in the delinquent pipeline are charged-off or liquidated. The loss reserve estimates are based on a probability-weighted average of potential scenarios of loan losses. Additional data used for both first and second-lien loans include historic averages of deal specific voluntary prepayment rates, forward projections of the LIBOR interest rates, and historic averages of deal-specific loss severities. Where applicable, the Company factors in termination scenarios when clean up calls are imminent. In calculating ultimate cumulative losses for RMBS, the Company estimates the amount of first-lien loans that are expected to be liquidated in the future through foreclosure or short sale, and estimates, the amount of second-lien loans that are expected to be charged-off (deemed uncollectible by servicers of the transactions). The time to liquidation for a defaulted loan is specific to the loan’s delinquency bucket. For all RMBS transactions, cash flow models consider allocations and other structural aspects and claims against MBIA Corp.’s insurance policy consistent with such policy’s terms and conditions. The estimated net claims from the procedure above are then discounted using a risk-free rate to a net present value reflecting MBIA’s general obligation to pay claims over time and not on an accelerated basis. The Company monitors RMBS portfolio performance on a monthly basis against projected performance, reviewing delinquencies, roll rates, and prepayment rates (including voluntary and involuntary). However, loan performance remains difficult to predict and losses may exceed expectations. In the event of a material deviation in actual performance from projected performance, the Company would increase or decrease the case basis reserves accordingly and re-evaluate its assumptions. RMBS Recoveries The Company’s RMBS recoveries relate to structural features within the trust structures that allow for the Company to be reimbursed for prior claims paid. These reimbursements for specific trusts include recoveries that are generated from the excess spread of the transactions. Excess spread within insured RMBS securitizations is the difference between interest inflows on mortgage loan collateral and interest outflows on the insured RMBS notes. CDO Reserves and Recoveries The Company also has loss and loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) reserves on certain transactions within its CDO portfolio, primarily its multi-sector CDO asset class that was insured in the form of financial guarantee policies. MBIA’s insured multi-sector CDOs are transactions that include a variety of collateral ranging from corporate bonds to structured finance assets (which includes, but are not limited to, RMBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and CDO collateral). The Company’s process for estimating reserves and credit impairments on these policies is determined as the present value of the probability-weighted potential future losses, net of estimated recoveries, across multiple scenarios. The Company considers several factors when developing the range of potential outcomes and their impact on MBIA. A range of loss scenarios is considered under different default and severity rates for each transaction’s collateral. Additionally, each transaction is evaluated for its commutation potential. Summary of Loss and LAE Reserves and Recoveries The Company’s loss and LAE reserves and recoveries before consolidated VIE eliminations, along with amounts that were eliminated as a result of consolidating VIEs for the international and structured finance insurance segment, which are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the following table: As of March 31, 2023 As of December 31, 2022 In millions - Balance Sheet Line Item Balance Sheet Line Item Insurance loss Loss and LAE (1) Insurance loss Loss and LAE (1) U.S. Public Finance Insurance $ 63 $ 85 $ 107 $ 154 International and Structured Finance Insurance: Before VIE eliminations 34 458 32 488 VIE eliminations (2 ) (164 ) (2 ) (203 ) Total international and structured finance insurance 32 294 30 285 Total $ 95 $ 379 $ 137 $ 439 (1) - Amounts are net of estimated recoveries of expected future claims. Changes in Loss and LAE Reserves Loss and LAE reserves represent the Company’s estimate of future claims and LAE payments, net of any future recoveries of such payments. The following table presents changes in the Company’s loss and LAE reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Changes in loss and LAE reserves, with the exception of loss and LAE payments and the impact of the revaluation of loss reserves denominated in amounts other than U.S. dollars, are recorded in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2023, the weighted average risk-free rate used to discount the Company’s loss reserves (claim liability) was 3.80%. LAE reserves are generally expected to be settled within a one-year In millions Changes in Loss and LAE Reserves for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Gross Loss Loss and Accretion Changes in Changes in (1) Changes in Gross Loss $439 $(28) $4 $11 $(47) $- $379 (1) -Includes changes in amount and timing of estimated payments and recoveries.

The Company recognizes potential recoveries on paid claims based on the probability-weighted net cash inflows present valued at applicable risk-free rates as of the measurement date. The following table presents changes in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Changes in insurance loss recoverable with the exception of collections, are recorded in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in Insurance Loss Recoverable for the Three Months Ended March 31, In millions Gross Collections Accretion Changes in Changes in Gross March 31, 2023 Insurance loss recoverable $ 137 $ (2 ) $ 1 $ 1 $ (42 ) $ 95 The decrease in the Company’s insurance loss recoverable reflected in the preceding table was primarily due to a reallocation of salvage from the insurance loss recoverable to a contra loss and LAE, due to the expectation, in certain circumstances and scenarios, for National to utilize a portion of new collateral received from PREPA to pay current National policyholders, and to a lesser extent a decline in the expected market price of the bonds on the estimated date to be received. Loss and LAE Activity For the three months ended March 31, 2023, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to a decrease in risk-free rates during 2023, which caused loss liabilities to increase on our first-lien RMBS portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, loss and LAE incurred primarily related to changes in the Company’s estimate of expected recoveries on National’s PREPA exposure. PREPA loss reserves and recoveries include certain assumptions about the timing and amount of claims payments and recoveries, including assumptions about the values of recoveries on the date the Company expects to receive reimbursement under an implemented RSA. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company updated assumptions used to estimate the value of recoveries, the timing and amount of claim payments, as well as the timing of an implemented plan. These assumption changes resulted in a decrease in the Company’s estimated present value of PREPA recoveries. Loss and LAE incurred during the quarter related to PREPA was partially offset by benefits related to Puerto Rico HTA and GO recoveries. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company increased the estimated values of recoveries expected to be received as part of the HTA restructuring to reflect updated information about potential values when received, including considering the current fair values of similar recently issued GO securities. In addition, the Company recorded a benefit on its GO recoveries to reflect the fair values of the consideration received as of the acquisition date, which was higher than its previous estimate. Additionally, an increase in risk-free rates during the first quarter of 2022, resulted in a decrease in the present value of net case reserves on first-lien RMBS. Costs associated with remediating insured obligations assigned to the Company’s surveillance categories are recorded as LAE and are included in “Losses and loss adjustment” expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, gross LAE related to remediating insured obligations were $2 million and $5 million, respectively.

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments | Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurement Financial Assets and Liabilities Financial assets held by the Company primarily consist of investments in debt and equity securities and loans receivables at fair value held by consolidated VIEs. Financial liabilities, excluding derivative liabilities, issued by the Company primarily consist of debt issued for general corporate purposes within its corporate segment, MTNs, investment agreements, and debt issued by consolidated VIEs. The Company’s derivative liabilities are primarily interest rate swaps. Valuation Techniques Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value are described below. Fixed-Maturity Securities Held as Available-For-Sale, Investments Carried at Fair Value, Investments Pledged as Collateral and Short-term Investments These investments include investments in U.S. Treasury and government agencies, state and municipal bonds, foreign governments, corporate obligations, MBS, ABS, money market securities, and equity investments. Substantially all of these investments are valued based on recently executed transaction prices or quoted market prices by independent third parties, including pricing services and brokers. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is generally determined using quoted prices of similar investments or a valuation model based on observable and unobservable inputs. Inputs vary depending on the type of investment. Observable inputs include contractual cash flows, interest rate yield curves, credit default swap (“CDS”) spreads, prepayment and volatility scores, diversity scores, cross-currency basis index spreads, and credit spreads for structures similar to the financial instrument in terms of issuer, maturity and seniority. Unobservable inputs include cash flow projections, the value of any credit enhancement and for certain equity investments, EBITDA multiples, discount rates, hard asset values and type certificate values. Investments based on quoted market prices of identical investments in active markets are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investments generally consist of U.S. Treasury and government agency, money market securities and equity investments. Quoted market prices of investments in less active markets, as well as investments which are valued based on other than quoted prices for which the inputs are observable, such as interest rate yield curves, are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investments that contain significant inputs that are not observable are categorized as Level 3. Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and credit worthiness of these instruments and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Loans Receivable at Fair Value Loans receivable at fair value are assets held by consolidated VIEs consisting of residential mortgage loans and are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair values of residential mortgage loans are determined using quoted prices for similar securities or internal cash flow models, adjusted for the fair values of the financial guarantees provided by MBIA Corp. on the related MBS. The fair values of the financial guarantees consider expected claim payments, net of recoveries, under MBIA Corp.’s policies. Other Assets Other assets include receivables representing the right to receive reimbursement payments on claim payments expected to be made on certain insured VIE liabilities due to risk mitigating transactions with third parties executed to effectively defease, or, in-substance commute the Company’s exposure on its financial guarantee policies. The right to receive reimbursement payments is based on the value of the Company’s financial guarantee determined using a cash flow model. The fair value of the financial guarantee primarily contains unobservable inputs and is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Medium-term Notes at Fair Value The Company has elected to measure certain medium-term notes (“MTNs”) at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair values of certain MTNs are based on quoted market prices provided by third-party sources, where available. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company applies a matrix pricing grid to determine fair value based on the quoted market prices received for similar instruments and considering the MTNs’ stated maturity and interest rate. Nonperformance risk is included in the quoted market prices and the matrix pricing grid. MTNs are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and do not include accrued interest. Variable Interest Entity Debt The fair values of VIE debt are determined based on recently executed transaction prices or quoted prices where observable. When position-specific quoted prices are not observable, fair values are based on quoted prices of similar securities or internal cash flow models. Fair values based on quoted prices of similar securities and internal cash flow models may be adjusted for factors unique to the securities, including any credit enhancement. Observable inputs include interest rate yield curves, bond spreads of similar securities and MBIA Corp.’s CDS spreads. Unobservable inputs include the value of any credit enhancement. VIE debt are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Derivatives The corporate segment has entered into derivative transactions primarily consisting of interest rate swaps. Fair values of over-the-counter derivatives are determined using valuation models based on observable inputs, nonperformance risk of the Company and nonperformance risk of the counterparties. Observable and market-based inputs include interest rate yields, credit spreads and volatilities. These derivatives are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. A VIE consolidated by the Company entered into a derivative instrument consisting of a cross currency swap. The cross currency swap was entered into to manage the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The fair value of the VIE derivative was determined based on the valuation provided by an independent third party, which is included in “Liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities – Derivative liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As the significant inputs are unobservable, the derivative contract is categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Significant Unobservable Inputs The following tables provide quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs used by the Company for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: In millions Fair Value as of 2023 Valuation Techniques Unobservable Input Range (Weighted Average) Assets: Equity Investments $ 115 Discounted cash EBITDA multiples (1) Discount rate (1) Sum of the parts Hard asset values (1) Type certificate values (1) Assets of consolidated VIEs: Loans receivable at fair value 83 Market prices of Impact of financial guarantee 13% - 98% (58%) (2) Liabilities of consolidated VIEs: Variable interest entity notes 154 Market prices of Impact of financial guarantee 44% - 72% (68%) (2) (1) - Range for EBITDA multiples, discount rate, hard asset values and type certificate values reflects their potential variability.

(2) - Weighted average represents the total MBIA guarantees as a percentage of total instrument fair value. Sensitivity of Significant Unobservable Inputs The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s equity investments at fair value are EBITDA multiples, the discount rate, hard asset values and type certificate values. The fair value of equity investments is determined by taking a weighted average of valuation scenarios. If there had been lower or higher EBITDA multiples, hard asset values or type certificate values, the value of equity investments would have been lower or higher, respectively. If there had been a lower or higher discount rate, the value of equity investments would have been higher or lower, respectively. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s residential loans receivable at fair value of consolidated VIEs is the impact of the financial guarantee. The fair value of residential loans receivable is calculated by subtracting the value of the financial guarantee from the market value of similar instruments to that of the VIE liabilities or the market value derived from internal cash flow models. The value of a financial guarantee is estimated by the Company as the present value of expected cash payments, net of recoveries, under the policy. If there had been a lower expected cash flow on the underlying loans receivable of the VIE, the value of the financial guarantee provided by the Company under the insurance policy would have been higher. This would have resulted in a lower fair value of the residential loans receivable in relation to the obligations of the VIE. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s VIE notes of consolidated VIEs is the impact of the financial guarantee. The fair value of VIE notes is calculated by adding the value of the financial guarantee to the market value of VIE assets. When the VIE note is backed by RMBS, the fair value of the VIE liability is calculated by applying the market value of similar instruments to that of the VIE liabilities or internal cash flow models. The value of a financial guarantee is estimated by the Company as the present value of expected cash payments under the policy. If the value of the guarantee provided by the Company to the obligations issued by the VIE had increased, the credit support would have added value to the liabilities resulted an Fair Value Measurements The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s assets (including short-term investments) and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date In millions Quoted Prices in Significant Significant (Level 3) Balance as of Assets: Fixed-maturity investments: U.S. Treasury and government agency $ 494 $ 56 $ - $ 550 State and municipal bonds - 131 - 131 Foreign governments - 24 - 24 Corporate obligations - 967 1 968 Mortgage-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed agency - 231 - 231 Residential mortgage-backed non-agency - 104 - 104 Commercial mortgage-backed - 27 - 27 Asset-backed securities: Collateralized debt obligations - 160 - 160 Other asset-backed - 106 - 106 Total fixed-maturity investments 494 1,806 1 2,301 Money market securities 208 - - 208 Equity investments 37 19 115 171 Cash and cash equivalents 67 - - 67 Assets of consolidated VIEs: Mortgage-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed non-agency - 11 - 11 Commercial mortgage-backed - 9 - 9 Asset-backed securities: Collateralized debt obligations - 1 - 1 Other asset-backed - 1 - 1 Cash 16 - - 16 Loans receivable at fair value: Residential loans receivable - - 83 83 Other assets: Other - - 9 9 Total assets $ 822 $ 1,847 $ 208 $ 2,877 Liabilities: Medium-term notes $ - $ - $ 42 $ 42 Derivative liabilities: Non-insured - 57 - 57 Liabilities of consolidated VIEs: Variable interest entity notes - - 154 154 Currency derivatives - - 11 11 Total liabilities $ - $ 57 $ 207 $ 264 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using In millions Quoted Prices in (Level 1) Significant Significant Balance as of Assets: Fixed-maturity investments: U.S. Treasury and government agency $ 463 $ 54 $ - $ 517 State and municipal bonds - 323 - 323 Foreign governments - 21 - 21 Corporate obligations - 797 - 797 Mortgage-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed agency - 207 - 207 Residential mortgage-backed non-agency - 95 - 95 Commercial mortgage-backed - 24 - 24 Asset-backed securities: Collateralized debt obligations - 159 - 159 Other asset-backed - 127 - 127 Total fixed-maturity investments 463 1,807 - 2,270 Money market securities 234 - - 234 Equity investments 38 19 115 172 Cash and cash equivalents 50 - - 50 Assets of consolidated VIEs: Corporate obligations - 4 - 4 Mortgage-backed securities: Residential mortgage-backed non-agency - 22 - 22 Commercial mortgage-backed - 9 - 9 Asset-backed securities: Collateralized debt obligations - 5 - 5 Other asset-backed - 7 - 7 Cash 16 - - 16 Loans receivable at fair value: Residential loans receivable - - 78 78 Other assets: Other - - 23 23 Total assets $ 801 $ 1,873 $ 216 $ 2,890 Liabilities: Medium-term notes $ - $ - $ 41 $ 41 Derivative liabilities: Non-insured - 49 - 49 Liabilities of consolidated VIEs: Variable interest entity notes - - 172 172 Currency derivatives - - 6 6 Total liabilities $ - $ 49 $ 219 $ 268 Level 3 assets at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 represented approximately 7% of total assets measured at fair value.

This is due to the high rate of defaults on loans (90 days or more past due), the collateral supporting the VIE notes and the nonperformance risk of the Company on its MTNs, all of which resulted in depressed pricing of the financial instruments. Instrument-Specific Credit Risk of Liabilities Elected Under the Fair Value Option As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cumulative changes in instrument-specific credit risk of liabilities elected under the fair value option were losses of $30 million and $45 million, respectively, reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were derived principally from changes in the Company’s credit spread. For liabilities of VIEs, additional adjustments to instrument-specific credit risk are required, which is determined by an analysis of deal specific performance of collateral that support these liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the portions of instrument-specific credit risk included in AOCI that were recognized in earnings due to settlement of liabilities were losses of $14 million and $3 million, respectively. |

In making this conclusion, the Company examined the cash flow projections for its investment portfolios, the potential sources and uses of cash in its businesses, and the cash resources available to its business other than sales of securities. It also considered the existence of any risk management or other plans as of March 31, 2023 that would require the sale of impaired securities. Credit Losses on Investments The Company’s fixed-maturity securities for which fair value is less than amortized cost are reviewed quarterly in order to determine whether a credit loss exists. If the Company determines that the declines in the fair value are related to credit loss, the Company will establish an allowance for credit losses and recognize the credit component through earnings. Refer to “Note 8: Investments” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of the Company’s policy for its determination of credit losses. The Company did not purchase any credit-deteriorated assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Derivative Instruments | Note 8: Derivative Instruments The Company has primarily entered into derivative instruments consisting of interest rate swaps to manage the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates affecting the value of certain assets in the corporate segment. Additionally, the Company has insured interest rate swaps and inflation-linked swaps related to its insured debt issuances in the U.S. public finance insurance and the international and structured finance insurance segments. These derivatives do not qualify for the financial guarantee scope exception and are accounted for as derivative instruments. The Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment consolidated a VIE which is party to a cross currency swap, entered into to manage the variability in cash flows resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Credit Derivatives Sold The following tables present information about credit derivatives sold by the Company’s insurance operations that were outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Credit ratings represent the lower of underlying ratings assigned to the collateral by Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Financial Services, LLC (“S&P”) or MBIA. $ in millions As of March 31, 2023 Credit Derivatives Sold Weighted AAA AA A BBB Below Total Fair Value Insured swaps 13.7 Years $ - $ 48 $ 1,010 $ 210 $ 60 $ 1,328 $ - Total fair value $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ in millions As of December 31, 2022 Credit Derivatives Sold Weighted AAA AA A BBB Below Total Fair Value Insured swaps 13.7 Years $ - $ 50 $ 1,013 $ 227 $ 60 $ 1,350 $ - Total fair value $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - Internal credit ratings assigned by MBIA on the underlying credit exposures are assigned by the Company’s surveillance group. In assigning an internal rating, current status reports from issuers and trustees, as well as publicly available transaction-specific information, are reviewed. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) on insured swaps that are primarily insured interest rate swaps is estimated as the net interest settlements plus principal payments where applicable, on amortizing swaps. MBIA may hold recourse provisions through subrogation rights of the swap counterparty, whereby if MBIA makes a claim payment, it may be entitled to receive net swap settlements from the issuer under the swap agreement. Counterparty Credit Risk The Company manages counterparty credit risk on an individual counterparty basis through master netting agreements covering derivative instruments in the corporate segment. These agreements allow the Company to contractually net amounts due from a counterparty with those amounts due to such counterparty when certain triggering events occur. The Company only executes swaps under master netting agreements, which typically contain mutual credit downgrade provisions that generally provide the ability to require assignment or termination in the event either MBIA or the counterparty is downgraded below a specified credit rating. Under these agreements, the Company may receive or provide cash, U.S. Treasury or other highly rated securities to secure counterparties’ exposure to the Company or its exposure to counterparties, respectively. Such collateral is available to the holder to pay for replacing the counterparty in the event that the counterparty defaults. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not hold or post cash collateral to derivative counterparties. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had securities with a fair value of $85 million and $73 million, respectively, posted to derivative counterparties and these amounts are included within “Fixed-maturity securities held as available-for-sale, As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value on one Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) was a liability of $1 million. This CSA governs collateral posting requirements between MBIA and its derivative counterparties. The Company did not receive collateral due to the Company’s credit rating, which was below the CSA minimum credit ratings level for holding counterparty collateral. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the counterparty was rated Aa3 by Moody’s and A+ by S&P. Financial Statement Presentation The fair value of amounts recognized for eligible derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, including any cash collateral that may have been received or posted by the Company, is presented on a net basis in accordance with accounting guidance for the offsetting of fair value amounts related to derivative instruments.

Income Taxes | Note 9: Income Taxes The Company’s income taxes and the related effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, In millions 2023 2022 Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ (83 ) $ (73 ) Provision (benefit) for income taxes $ - $ - Effective tax rate 0.0 % 0.0 % For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate applied to its loss from continuing operations before income taxes was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate due to the full valuation allowance on the changes in its net deferred tax asset. Deferred Tax Asset, Net of Valuation Allowance The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of its existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the Company having a three-year cumulative loss. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company’s projections of pre-tax Net operating losses (“NOLs”) of property and casualty insurance companies are permitted to be carried back two years and carried forward 20 years. NOLs of property and casualty insurance companies are not subject to the 80 percent taxable income limitation and indefinite lived carryforward period required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act applicable to general corporate NOLs. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes The Company’s policy is to record and disclose any change in unrecognized tax benefit (“UTB”) and related interest and/or penalties to income tax in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company includes interest as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no UTB. Federal income tax returns through 2011 have been examined or surveyed. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s NOL is approximately $3.9 billion. NOLs generated prior to tax reform and property and casualty NOLs generated after tax reform will expire between tax years 2026 through 2043. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has a foreign tax credit carryforward of $57 million, which will expire between tax years 2023 through 2033. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code Included in the Company’s Amended By-Laws By-Laws Inflation Reduction Act On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law and includes several tax changes, notably a new 15% minimum tax on the book income of large corporations and a 1% excise tax on most stock buybacks. The IRA will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. |

Business Segments | Note 10: Business Segments As defined by segment reporting, an operating segment is a component of a company (i) that engages in business activities from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses, (ii) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of the segment and to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segment and, (iii) for which discrete financial information is available. The Company manages its businesses across three operating segments: 1) U.S. public finance insurance; 2) corporate; and 3) international and structured finance insurance. The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance business is operated through National and its international and structured finance insurance business is operated through MBIA Corp. The following sections provide a description of each of the Company’s reportable operating segments. U.S. Public Finance Insurance The Company’s U.S. public finance insurance portfolio is managed through National. The financial guarantees issued by National provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of the principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, U.S. public finance insured obligations when due. The obligations are not subject to acceleration, except that National may have the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise. National’s guarantees insure municipal bonds, including tax-exempt Corporate The Company’s corporate segment consists of general corporate activities, including providing support services to MBIA Inc.’s subsidiaries as well as asset and capital management. Support services are provided by the Company’s service company, MBIA Services, and include, among others, management, legal, accounting, treasury, information technology, and insurance portfolio surveillance, on a fee-for-service International and Structured Finance Insurance The Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment is principally conducted through MBIA Corp. The financial guarantees issued by MBIA Corp. generally provide unconditional and irrevocable guarantees of the payment of principal of, and interest or other amounts owing on, non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance insured obligations when due, or in the event MBIA Corp. has the right, at its discretion, to accelerate insured obligations upon default or otherwise. MBIA Corp. insures non-U.S. public finance and global structured finance obligations, including asset-backed obligations. MBIA Corp. has insured sovereign-related and sub-sovereign bonds, utilities, privately issued bonds used for the financing of projects that include toll roads, bridges, public transportation facilities, and other types of infrastructure projects serving a substantial public purpose. Global structured finance and asset-backed obligations typically are securities repayable from expected cash flows generated by a specified pool of assets, such as residential and commercial mortgages, structured settlements, consumer loans, and corporate loans and bonds. MBIA Corp. insures the investment contracts written by MBIA Inc., and if MBIA Inc. were to have insufficient assets to pay amounts due upon maturity or termination, MBIA Corp. would make such payments. MBIA Insurance Corporation also insures debt obligations of GFL. MBIA Corp. has also written policies guaranteeing obligations under certain derivative contracts, including termination payments that may become due upon certain insolvency or payment defaults of the financial guarantor or the issuer. MBIA Corp. has not written any meaningful amount of business since 2008.

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies The following commitments and contingencies provide an update of those discussed in “Note 19: Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K 10-K. Litigation Complaint Objecting to Defendant’s Claims and Seeking Related Relief On July 1, 2019, the Oversight Board and AAFAF filed an adversary complaint against the Trustee for the PREPA bonds, challenging the validity of the liens arising under the Trust Agreement securing the insurance obligations of National. On September 30, 2022, the Oversight Board filed an amended complaint objecting to: (1) the secured claims asserted by the Trustee in PREPA’s assets; and (2) all unsecured claims of the Trustee, including as a result of the disallowance of the Trustee’s claims. The Oversight Board alleges that the Trustee’s security interest in PREPA’s property is limited to moneys deposited to the credit of the sinking fund and subordinate funds, and are non-recourse except as to the same sinking and subordinate funds moneys actually deposited. In addition it asserts that the Trust Agreement does not grant security interests in any of the covenants or remedies thereunder, that any security interests in deposit accounts other than those held by the Trustee are unperfected, and that there can be no security interest in the covenants and remedies, and if so, would be unperfected. The Defendants, including National, filed an answer and counterclaim on October 17, 2022. On October 24, 2022, the Oversight Board and Defendants each filed summary judgement motions seeking expedited resolution of certain counts in the amended complaint. On March 22, 2023, the Court ruled on summary judgement, finding the bondholders’ liens only extend to the amount of funds held in certain specified accounts. In addition, the court determined that the unsecured portion of the bondholders’ claims were subject to estimation of their scope. For those aforementioned actions in which it is a defendant, the Company is defending against those actions and expects ultimately to prevail on the merits. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will prevail in these actions. Adverse rulings in these actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to implement its strategy and on its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. At this stage of the litigation, there has not been a determination as to the amount, if any, of damages. Accordingly, the Company is not able to estimate any amount of loss or range of loss. The Company similarly can provide no assurance that it will be successful in those actions in which it is a plaintiff. There are no other material lawsuits pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party. Lease Commitments The Company has a lease agreement for its headquarters in Purchase, New York. The initial lease term expires in 2030 with the option to terminate the lease in 2025 upon the payment of a termination amount. This lease agreement included an incentive amount to fund certain leasehold improvements, renewal options, escalation clauses and a free rent period. This lease agreement has been classified as an operating lease, and operating rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.
