sell, from time to time, an indeterminate amount of any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer, which is not meant
to be a complete description of any security. Each time that securities are sold, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of that offering will be provided, including the specific amounts, prices and terms of the

April&nbsp;29, 1991. On May&nbsp;1, 2013, Ambac emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection when the Second Modified Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. became effective. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal business, financial guarantee insurance, is conducted through our primary operating subsidiary, Ambac Assurance, and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Ambac Assurance UK Limited (&#147;Ambac UK&#148;). Insurance policies insured by Ambac Assurance and Ambac UK guarantee payment when due of the principal and interest on the obligations guaranteed. Ambac Assurance also has another
wholly-owned financial guarantee subsidiary, Everspan Financial Guarantee Corp. (&#147;Everspan&#148;), which has been in runoff since its acquisition in 1997. Ambac Assurance has not written new business since 2007 as a result of losses incurred in
connection with the 2008 financial crisis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In March 2010, Ambac Assurance established the Segregated Account to segregate certain

Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Wisconsin as rehabilitator of the Segregated Account (the &#147;Rehabilitator&#148;), as the context requires)) commenced rehabilitation proceedings in order to permit the OCI to facilitate an orderly
run-off and/or settlement of the liabilities allocated to the Segregated Account. Ambac Assurance is not, itself, in rehabilitation proceedings. </P>

transactions among Direct Participants in such securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants&#146; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct Participants include U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation
(&#147;DTTC&#148;). DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear transactions through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (&#147;Indirect Participants&#148;). The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at
<U>www.dtcc.com</U>. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of debt securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,
which will receive a credit for the debt securities on DTC&#146;s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each debt security will be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants&#146; records. These beneficial owners will not
receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect
Participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of
beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in debt securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC&#146;s
partnership nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. or such other DTC
nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the debt securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities; DTC&#146;s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such debt
securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct
Participants and Indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the debt securities of a series are being redeemed, DTC&#146;s practice is to
determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such series to be redeemed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In any case where a vote may be
required with respect to the debt securities of any series, neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to such debt securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with
DTC&#146;s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to Ambac as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.&#146;s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants
to whose accounts the debt securities of the series are credited on the record date (identified in the listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Principal and interest payments, if any, on the debt securities will be made to Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co, as nominee of DTC, or such other nominee
as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit Direct Participants&#146; accounts, upon DTC&#146;s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Ambac or the trustee, on the applicable
payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#146;s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the
accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in &#147;street name,&#148; and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, Ambac or the trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time
to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the trustee. Disbursement of payments from
Cede&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. to Direct Participants is DTC&#146;s responsibility. Disbursements of payments to beneficial owners are the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In any case where we have made a tender offer for the purchase of any debt securities, a beneficial owner must give notice through a
participant to a tender agent to elect to have its debt securities purchased or tendered. The beneficial owner must deliver debt securities by causing the Direct Participants to transfer the participant&#146;s interest in the debt securities, on
DTC&#146;s records, to a tender agent. The requirement for physical delivery of debt securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase is satisfied when the ownership rights in the debt securities are transferred by Direct
Participants on DTC&#146;s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered debt securities to the tender agent&#146;s DTC account. </P>

transfers of which such transfer is a part), either (i)&nbsp;any person or group of persons shall become a holder of 5% or more of our common stock or (ii)&nbsp;the percentage stock ownership interest in the Company of any holder of 5% or more of
our common stock shall be increased (a &#147;Prohibited Transfer&#148;). These restrictions shall not apply to an attempted transfer if the transferor or the transferee obtains the written approval of our board of directors of such transfer. A
purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Company for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the securities which are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the &#147;Excess Securities&#148;). Until
the Excess Securities are acquired by another person in a transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the purported transferee of a Prohibited Transfer shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any. Once the Excess Securities have been acquired in a transfer
that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. If our board of directors determines that a transfer of securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer then, upon written demand by the Company, the purported
transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the purported transferee&#146;s possession or control, together with any distributions paid by the Company with
respect to such Excess Securities, to an agent designated by the Company. Such agent shall thereafter sell such Excess Securities and the proceeds of such sale shall be distributed as set forth in our Certificate of Incorporation. If the purported

March&nbsp;3, 2014, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the &#147;Company&#148;) as of December&nbsp;31, 2013 (Successor Company) and 2012 (Predecessor Company), and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for the eight month period ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 (Successor Company), four month period ended April&nbsp;30, 2013 (Predecessor Company) and the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2012 (Predecessor Company), and all related financial statement schedules, and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December&nbsp;31, 2013, which reports appear in the December&nbsp;31, 2013 Form
10-K of Ambac Financial Group, Inc., and to the reference to our firm under the heading &#147;Experts&#148; in the prospectus. Our report contains an explanatory paragraph that states that, uncertainties associated with the regulatory oversight of
the Company&#146;s operating subsidiary, Ambac Assurance Corporation and the inability of its financial guarantee business segment to write new business, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. Such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company&#146;s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules do not include any adjustments that might
