      Item 8.01.&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;OTHER EVENTS.
    </p>
    <p>
      The following information is being filed pursuant to Item 8.01 &#8211; Other
      Events of Form 8-K.
    </p>
    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
      MBIA Inc. announced today that in response to the request made by its
      wholly-owned subsidiary MBIA Insurance Corporation (&quot;MBIA Corp.&quot;) to
      make the scheduled January 15, 2013 interest payment on MBIA Corp.'s 14%
      Fixed-to-Floating Rate Surplus Notes due 2033 (the &#8220;Surplus Notes&#8221;),&#160;the
      New York State Department of Financial Services (&#8220;NYSDFS&#8221;) has denied
      MBIA Corp.&#8217;s request to make the January 15, 2013 scheduled interest
      payment on the Surplus Notes.
    </p>
    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
      In accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement governing
      the Surplus Notes, MBIA Corp. will not make the January 15, 2013
      interest payment on the Surplus Notes because pursuant to Section 1307
      of the New York Insurance Law and the Fiscal Agency Agreement, any
      payment on the Surplus Notes may be made only with the prior approval of
      the NYSDFS, and no such payment becomes due absent NYSDFS approval.&#160;
      Accordingly, MBIA Corp. is not required to make the January 15, 2013
      scheduled interest payment under the terms of the Fiscal Agency
      Agreement, and the non-payment does not constitute a default under the
      Fiscal Agency Agreement or any other MBIA Corp. or MBIA Inc. agreement.&#160;
      In accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, MBIA Corp.
      is required to provide, and will provide, notice to the Fiscal Agent if
      it has not made a scheduled interest payment.
    </p>
    <p>

    </p>
    <p>
      The deferred interest payment will be due on the first business day on
      or after which MBIA Corp. obtains approval to make such payment.&#160; No
      interest will accrue on the deferred interest.
