    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Sale of Cutwater Asset Management</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      MBIA Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) announced today that it has signed an
      agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary Cutwater Holdings, LLC
      (&#8220;Cutwater&#8221;) to a subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon
      Corporation.&#160;The Company currently conducts its asset management
      advisory services business through Cutwater.&#160;The sale is expected to
      close at the beginning of the first quarter of 2015, subject to
      regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.&#160;The
      transaction is expected to have a positive but immaterial impact on the
      Company&#8217;s financial position and results of operations.
    </p>
    <p>
      <b>Receipt of National Dividend</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company also announced that it received a $220 million dividend from
      its wholly-owned subsidiary National Public Finance Guarantee
      Corporation (&#8220;National&#8221;) on October 3, 2014.&#160;&#160;The Company previously
      disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period
      ended June 30, 2014 that National had provided the New York State
      Department of Financial Services with notice of its intention to pay a
      dividend during the fourth quarter of 2014.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company does not undertake any obligation to make public
      announcements on Form 8-K regarding dividend payments from its
      subsidiaries. Any such public announcement will be made at the Company&#8217;s
      discretion as it deems appropriate.

      <b>Forward-Looking Statements</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      The information contained in this Current Report should be read in
      conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission. This report 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
      and uncertainties, the possibility that the Company will experience
      increased credit losses or impairments on public finance obligations we
      insure issued by state, local and territorial governments and finance
      authorities that are experiencing unprecedented fiscal stress, the
      possibility that MBIA Insurance Corporation will have inadequate
      liquidity to pay expected claims as a result of increased losses on
      certain structured finance transactions, in particular residential
      mortgage-backed securities transactions that include a substantial
      number of ineligible mortgage loans, or a delay or failure in collecting
      expected recoveries, the possibility that loss reserve estimates are not
      adequate to cover potential claims, a disruption in the cash flow from
      our subsidiaries or an inability to access capital and our exposure to
      significant fluctuations in liquidity and asset values within the global
      credit markets as a result of collateral posting requirements, our
      ability to fully implement our strategic plan, including our ability to
      maintain high stable ratings for National Public Finance Guarantee
      Corporation and generate investor demand for our financial guarantees,
      deterioration in the economic environment and financial markets in the
      United States or abroad, and adverse developments in European sovereign
      credit performance, real estate market performance, credit spreads,
      interest rates and foreign currency levels, the effects of governmental
      regulation, including insurance laws, securities laws, tax laws, legal
      precedents and accounting rules; and uncertainties that have not been
      identified at this time. 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.
