EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 ► Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (“Ambac” or the “Company”) is a Nasdaq-listed financial services holding company whose subsidiaries provide financial guarantees on municipal bonds, structured securities and other financial instruments ► Our strategic priority is to maximize shareholder value through the disciplined and accretive management of our $100 billion+ legacy policy exposures and other liabilities, and the optimization of our assets, all in coordination with our primary regulator ► Since emerging from bankruptcy in May 2013, the Company has delivered consistently strong operating results • Delivered positive operating earnings(1) in 9 out of the last 10 quarters, in aggregate over $2.5 billion, and $1.5 billion of aggregate net income • 2015 was particularly strong as we generated post-bankruptcy record operating income of $1.2 billion(1) and $493.4 million of net income • Adjusted book value(2) grew by $32.01 per share from ($7.23) at June 30, 2013 to $24.78 as of December 31, 2015 and our book value per share increased fivefold, from $6.38 at June 30, 2013 to $37.41 as of December 31, 2015 ► Our Board is comprised of experienced executives – 5 of our 6 nominees are independent – and has been enhanced by the March 2016 appointments of two new, highly qualified directors, David Herzog and Ian Haft ► We believe Canyon Capital Advisors (“Canyon”) is a conflicted shareholder and that its nominee proposal is designed entirely to further its own agenda to irresponsibly liquidate Ambac at the expense of all shareholders ► Shareholders representing over 20% of our outstanding common stock have already publicly supported Ambac and its Board slate, including our Chairman. This includes the holders of 18.5% of our stock that have entered into support agreements with Ambac, as well as another holder of over 2% of our stock, which has issued a press release expressing its support

“[Ambac] reported 4Q15 results that reflected yet more headway in its efforts to create shareholder value. We believe AMBC’s capacity for creating value through such self-help measures is often overlooked… …We are encouraged by the company’s value-creating initiatives and acknowledge that the stock price is tempting.” We believe the distinction made between Schwartzer’s role on a part-time basis and Peterson’s full-time role does provide a signal of the OCI’s increased comfort with the Segregated Account.” – BTIG report, Feb. 19, 2016 “Ambac reported excellent earnings… Ambac made significant advancement in its efforts to improve the financial condition of its operating subsidiary … Ambac clearly moved forward this quarter to strengthen its financial position…” – MKM Partners report, Feb. 19, 2016 24 Commentary on Performance “The company’s value continues to increase each quarter due to management’s efforts to reduce liabilities at Ambac Assurance Corp. (AAC) and a macro and housing backdrop that has been conducive to the reduction of projected losses at the subsidiary.” – BTIG report, May 12, 2015 “Yesterday after the close, Ambac reported better than expected Q3 earnings, with $3.77 of Operating Income per share vs. our $1.37 estimate… The quarter exhibited a continuation of recent positive trends, with a favorable $179mm adjustment to RMBS reserves and $35mm adjustment to Student Loan loss reserves” – Odeon Capital report, November 10, 2015 ANALYST COMMENTARY REGARDING AMBAC’S 2015 PERFORMANCE

LEADING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES Ambac’s leading corporate governance practices drive accountability to shareholders Independent Oversight and Leadership 5 out of 6 director nominees independent Limited additional current Board obligations (no director nominee sits on more than 2 other public company boards), allowing for focus on the execution of Ambac’s strategy Separate Chairman and CEO roles Average tenure of under 1.2 years (vs S&P average of 8.4), ensuring fresh perspective Added four new independent directors in the last two years Emphasis on Shareholder Rights No Classified Board – all directors elected annually Shareholders have the ability to call special meetings and to act by written consent Annual say-on-pay vote – over 94% support in each of the last 3 years Shareholder Engagement Actively engaged with shareholders on corporate governance matters and received significant shareholder support for newly appointed directors • Shareholders holding 18.5% of our outstanding shares signed formal Support Agreements • Additional public support announced by another holder of over 2% of our stock Track record of proactive, ongoing shareholder dialogue 30

“It's time for the Company, which is led by a strong management team, to continue its focus on value creation for the Company and its shareholders.

SECTION V CANYON’S PROXY CAMPAIGN

► Canyon’s creditor holdings have an estimated market value of ~$373 million, more than 10x larger than the size of its equity position of ~$36 million(37,38) • Canyon’s principal economic interest is as a creditor of Ambac, not a shareholder • We believe Canyon stands to realize a gain on its credit holdings (when such are paid in full) that will be a multiple of its entire equity position in Ambac(39) 33 $36mm $373mm Equity Holdings(37) Creditor Holdings(38) Canyon has launched a series of attacks our Company, our Chairman and our CEO in an attempt to undermine the Company’s leadership and advance its creditor-focused agenda Its attacks and assertions are inconsistent with the real facts relative to the Company’s performance and leadership ► We believe Canyon’s attempts to accelerate policy pay downs serve only its interests, to the detriment of other policyholders and all shareholders, and highlights its willingness to risk Ambac’s relationship with regulators ► We believe the timing of Canyon’s campaign against Ambac further highlights its conflict – only after a failed attempt to renegotiate an accelerated payment on its creditor holdings did Canyon begin its campaign against Ambac’s Board and CEO ► In fact, Joshua Friedman, Canyon's Co-Chairman and Co-CEO, emailed Mr. Tavakoli the following on the date his appointment as interim CEO was announced in December 2014: • “We are happy and supportive shareholders! Hope you are well, and what a nice way to kick off the holiday season.”(34) WE BELIEVE THAT CANYON IS A CONFLICTED SHAREHOLDER THAT IS ATTEMPTING TO LIQUIDATE THE COMPANY

Canyon demands a change in strategy to focus on the immediate payment of claims. We believe this strategic shift either misunderstands or intentionally ignores certain basic realities: • As an insurance company, liquidity is essential to Ambac’s ability to pay future claims and execute transactions that preserve and create value for shareholders; the OCI has exclusive jurisdiction over the Segregated Account and approval rights over much of AAC’s affairs • Ambac has to maintain strong capital levels, to a level ultimately determined by the OCI, to ensure it has the ability to pay claims into the future and to protect against unexpected losses • Management’s strategic deployment of our capital in our own obligations, together with our policy commutation activity, has in our estimate created more than $3.0 billion of value through discount capture since the inception of that program • The Company also has significant legacy exposure it is actively managing in coordination with the OCI. These efforts have contributed to nearly $1.2 billion of operating earnings(1) and to the reduction of our insured net par exposure by $36 billion in 2015 We believe Canyon’s short-term, creditor-focused agenda would put at risk the constructive working relationship we have developed with the OCI, which is essential to delivering sustained shareholder value at Ambac • Repayment of policyholder claims is at the sole discretion of the OCI and our capacity to invest in insured securities and commute loss polices is subject to certain limits and authorities of the OCI • Canyon’s call for redemption of surplus notes demonstrates its short-term objectives that run contrary to the long-term interests of shareholders • We continue to work closely with the OCI to effect a final resolution of the Supervisory Rehabilitation and an exit from its authority over the Segregated Account • Canyon’s attempts to undermine the collaborative relationship that we have developed with our chief regulator (through its bid to oust our Chairman and various other attacks) threaten future shareholder value creation 34 AMBAC’S RESPONSE TO CANYON’S ATTACKS

► The principal experience offered by Frederick Arnold is bankruptcy expertise… • This is consistent with Canyon’s agenda to liquidate the Company and to pay off Canyon’s liquidation claims • We believe shareholder value will be maximized through the execution of our asset-liability management strategy, not through liquidation ► …and he has little public company board experience • Mr. Arnold resigned from the only public board on which he had served in November 2014 ► Canyon previously nominated three directors to our Board, but has since retracted the nomination of two candidates • Underscores the weakness of Canyon’s position, particularly in light of public support for Ambac and its Board, including our Chairman, from shareholders representing over 20% of our outstanding common stock. This includes the holders of 18.5% of our stock that have entered into support agreements with Ambac, as well as another holder of over 2% of our stock, which has issued a press release expressing its support ► Jeffrey S. Stein, our Chairman, has been instrumental to the Company’s success; we believe Canyon’s bid to replace him is misguided and, if successful, could result in significant loss of value to shareholders • Mr. Stein has demonstrated a tireless commitment and pragmatic approach to many of Ambac’s most complex business issues • His leadership is critical to the execution of our strategy as well as our relationship with the OCI Lacks requisite experience; selection demonstrates Canyon’s intention to advance its own self-interested agenda, disrupting progress made by Ambac’s Board and management 35 WE BELIEVE CANYON’S NOMINEE IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION VI SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Jeffrey S. Stein has been instrumental to the Company’s success and should continue to lead Ambac as Chairman in 2016 and beyond  Since emerging from bankruptcy in 2013, the Board and management team’s execution of Ambac’s strategy has delivered strong results, derisked our business and strengthened our relationship with the OCI, our primary regulator  In addition to Mr. Stein and Nader Tavakoli, our Board includes independent, experienced executives. With the addition of two new, highly qualified directors in March 2016, we believe this is the right Board to build upon Ambac’s recent successes  Ambac maintains an active dialogue with shareholders. All of Ambac’s nominees for election at the annual meeting are already supported by shareholders representing over 20% of our outstanding common stock. This includes the holders of 18.5% of our stock that have entered into support agreements with Ambac, as well as another holder of over 2% of our stock, which has issued a press release expressing its support  Canyon’s credit holdings in Ambac are over 10x larger than its equity holdings; the gains it stands to realize on its credit holdings (when such are paid in full) will dwarf its equity holdings. We believe that its nominee proposal is designed entirely to further its own agenda to liquidate Ambac at the expense of all shareholders  37 We urge all shareholders to support Ambac’s nominees Nader Tavakoli’s diverse skills, experience and accomplishments at Ambac make him exceptionally qualified to serve as our President and CEO 

Non-GAAP Financial Data Included in this presentation, the Company reports two non-GAAP financial measures: Operating Earnings and Adjusted Book Value. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance or financial position that excludes (or includes) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We are presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because they provide greater transparency and enhanced visibility into the underlying drivers of our business and the impact of certain items that the Company believes will reverse from GAAP book value over time through the GAAP statements of comprehensive income. Operating Earnings and Adjusted Book Value are not substitutes for the Company’s GAAP reporting, should not be viewed in isolation and may differ from similar reporting provided by other companies, which may define non-GAAP measures differently. Operating Earnings The following table reconciles net income attributable to common shareholders to the non-GAAP measure, operating earnings, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and 8-months ended December 31, 2013, respectively: 44 AMBAC NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DATA Per Diluted Per Diluted Per Diluted ($ milli , ther than per share data) $ Amount Share $ Amount Share $ Amount Share N t i om attributable to common shareholders 493.4$ 10.72$ 484.1$ 10.31$ 505.2$ 10.91$ Adju t nts: Non-cr dit impairment fair value (gain) loss on credit derivatives (36.7) (0.80) (17.1) (0.37) (165.9) (3.58) Eff ct of consolidating financial guarantee VIEs 9.1 0.20 45.0 0.96 223.7 4.83 Insurance intangible amortization 169.6 3.69 151.8 3.24 99.7 2.15 Impairment of Goodwill 514.5 11.18 - - - - Foreign exchange (gain) loss from remeasurement of premiums receivable and loss and loss adjustment expenses 29.4 0.64 34.9 0.74 (21.0) (0.45) Fair value (gain) loss on derivative products from Ambac CVA (14.2) (0.31) (16.1) (0.34) 46.8 1.01 Operating earnings 1,165.1$ 25.32$ 682.6$ 14.54$ 688.5$ 14.87$ Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding (in millions) 46.0 46.9 46.3 Year Ended Year Ended Eight Months Ended December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013

Adjusted Book Value: Management believes that adjusted book value is a useful measure because it enables an evaluation of the net present value of the Company’s in-force premiums and revenues in addition to operating shareholders’ equity. The premiums and revenues included in adjusted book value will be earned in future periods, but actual earnings may differ materially from the estimated amounts used in determining current adjusted book value due to changes in foreign exchange rates, prepayment speeds, terminations, credit defaults and other factors. Many investors, analysts and financial news reporters use adjusted book value to evaluate Assured Guaranty Ltd.’s share price and as the basis of their decision to recommend, buy or sell the Assured Guaranty Ltd. common shares. Adjusted book value is operating shareholders’ equity, as defined above, further adjusted for the following: 1) Elimination of after-tax deferred acquisition costs, net. These amounts represent net deferred expenses that have already been paid or accrued and will be expensed in future accounting periods. 2) Addition of the after-tax net present value of estimated net future credit derivative revenue. 3) Addition of the after-tax value of the unearned premium reserve on financial guaranty contracts in excess of expected loss to be expensed, net of reinsurance. This amount represents the expected future net earned premiums, net of expected losses to be expensed, which are not reflected in GAAP equity.

Adjusted Book Value: Adjusted Book Value (“ABV”), a non-GAAP measure, is used by the Company to supplement its analysis of GAAP book value. The Company uses ABV as a measure of fundamental value and considers the change in ABV an important measure of periodic financial performance. ABV adjusts GAAP book value by removing the GAAP book value amounts for items that are not expected to impact shareholder value and to add in the impact of certain items which the Company believes will be realized in GAAP book value in future periods. The Company has limited such adjustments to those items that it deems to be important to fundamental value and performance and which the likelihood and amount can be reasonably estimated. ABV assumes no new business activity. The Company has presented ABV to allow investors and analysts to evaluate the Company using the same measure that MBIA’s management regularly uses to measure financial performance. ABV is not a substitute for and should not be viewed in isolation from GAAP book value.” MBIA NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DATA(44) 47
