      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>
      MBIA Inc. announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary MBIA
      Insurance Corporation (&quot;MBIA Corp.&quot;) has issued a notice to the Fiscal
      Agent and the registered holder of MBIA Corp.'s 14% Fixed-to-Floating
      Rate Surplus Notes due 2033 (the &quot;Notes&quot;), in accordance with the terms
      of the Fiscal Agency Agreement governing the Notes, that the New York
      State Department of Financial Services (&#8220;NYSDFS&#8221;) has denied MBIA
      Corp.&#8217;s request to make the interest payment on the Notes scheduled for
      payment on April 15, 2013 and the interest payment on the Notes that was
      originally scheduled for payment on January 15, 2013 (together, the
      &#8220;Proposed Interest Payments&#8221;). Pursuant to the Fiscal Agency Agreement
      MBIA Corp. is required to use its best efforts to obtain the approval of
      the NYSDFS for the payment of interest on each interest payment date,
      and in the event an approval has not been obtained, to continue to use
      its best efforts to obtain approval promptly thereafter.
    </p>
    <p>
      In accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, MBIA Corp.
      will not make the Proposed Interest Payments 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 Proposed Interest
      Payments 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;
    </p>
    <p>
      In accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, MBIA Corp.
      is required to provide five business days&#8217; notice to the Fiscal Agent
      and the registered holder of the Notes prior to the interest payment
      date if it has not received approval by such date to pay the interest
      due on the interest payment date.&#160;&#160;In accordance with the terms of the
      Fiscal Agency Agreement, MBIA Corp. will also provide notice to the
      Fiscal Agent if it has not made the scheduled interest payment on the
      scheduled interest payment date.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Proposed Interest Payments will be due on the first business day on
      or after which MBIA Corp. obtains approval to make such payments.&#160; No
      interest will accrue on the deferred interest.
    </p>
    <p>
      MBIA Corp. does not intend to make further public announcements
      regarding Note interest payments or requests for NYSDFS approval of Note
      interest payments except at any time when the NYSDFS approval or
      non-approval of any interest payment changes from the immediately
      preceding request for approval.
