      The following information is being filed pursuant to Item&#160;8.01 &#8211; Other

    <p>
      MBIA today announced that the Appellate Division of the New York State
      Supreme Court has reversed an earlier decision by a lower court and
      granted MBIA&#8217;s motion to dismiss the plenary lawsuit brought by a group
      of banks challenging the Company&#8217;s Transformation.&#160;&#160;In its decision, the
      Appellate Division agreed with MBIA&#8217;s position that the lawsuit was an
      improper collateral attack on the New York State Insurance Department&#8217;s
      approval of MBIA&#8217;s Transformation.&#160;&#160;The Court also dismissed all of the
      other causes of action stated in the banks&#8217; complaint.&#160;&#160;
    </p>
    <p>
      The plenary lawsuit is entitled <i>ABN AMRO Bank N.V. et al. v. MBIA
      Inc. et al., Index No. 601475/09</i> and is further described in the
      Company&#8217;s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September

      Bank Group Plenary Action</b></font></u>

    </p>
    <p>
      ARMONK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 11, 2011--MBIA Inc. (NYSE: MBI)
      today announced that the Appellate Division of the New York State
      Supreme Court has reversed an earlier decision by a lower court and
      granted MBIA&#8217;s motion to dismiss the plenary lawsuit brought by a group
      of banks challenging the Company&#8217;s Transformation. In its decision, the
      Appellate Division agreed with MBIA&#8217;s position that the lawsuit was an
      improper collateral attack on the New York State Insurance Department&#8217;s
      approval of MBIA&#8217;s Transformation. The Court also dismissed all of the
      other causes of action stated in the banks&#8217; complaint.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The banks have continuously sought to obstruct National&#8217;s goal of
      providing much needed insurance capacity to the municipal market and to
      undermine the determinations made by the New York State Insurance
      Department. So we are gratified by the Appellate Division&#8217;s decision and
      are now looking forward to a prompt resolution of the Article 78
      proceeding, in which we fully expect to prevail,&#8221; said Jay Brown, MBIA
      CEO.

      <b>Forward-Looking Statements</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      This release includes statements that are not historical or current
      facts and are &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; made pursuant to the safe
      harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
      1995. The words &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;project,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221;
      &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;will likely result,&#8221; &#8220;looking forward&#8221; or &#8220;will continue,&#8221;
      and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These
      statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
      cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and
      those presently anticipated or projected, including, among other risks,
      the possibility that the Company will not realize insurance loss
      recoveries expected in disputes with sellers/servicers of RMBS
      transactions, the possibility that the Company will experience severe
      losses or liquidity needs due to increased deterioration in its
      insurance portfolios; the possibility that loss reserve estimates are
      not adequate to cover potential claims; the Company&#8217;s ability to fully
      implement its Strategic Plan as outlined in the Company&#8217;s most recent
      Annual Report on Form 10-K; the Company&#8217;s ability to favorably resolve
      regulatory proceedings and litigation claims against the Company and
      legal actions initiated by the Company in connection with potential
      insurance loss recoveries; an inability to achieve high, stable credit
      ratings; and changes in general economic and competitive conditions.
      These and other factors that could affect financial performance or could
      cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or
      underlying the Company&#8217;s forward-looking statements are discussed under
      the &#8220;Risk Factors&#8221; section in MBIA Inc.&#8217;s most recent Annual Report on
      Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which may be updated or
      amended in the Company&#8217;s subsequent filings with the Securities and
      Exchange Commission. The Company cautions readers not to place undue
      reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only to
      their respective dates. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
      correct or update any forward-looking statement if it later becomes
      aware that such result is not likely to be achieved.
