      <font style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times New Roman"><b>MBIA Inc.
      Announces New Share Repurchase Program and Termination of Existing
      Repurchase Program</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      PURCHASE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 2015--MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI)
      (the Company) today announced that the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors has
      authorized the repurchase by the Company or its subsidiaries of up to
      $100 million of its outstanding shares under a new share repurchase
      authorization, which supersedes and terminates the prior authorization.
      The prior authorization had approximately $61 million of unused capacity
      at the time it was terminated. Repurchases by the Company or its
      subsidiaries will be subject to available liquidity, general market and
      economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors.
      Acquisitions in the repurchase program may be made from time to time in
      open market transactions, block trades or in private transactions in
      accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations and other
      legal requirements. There is no minimum number of shares that the
      Company is required to repurchase and the repurchase program may be
      suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
    </p>
    <p>
      In 2015 to date, the Company and its subsidiaries repurchased 23.4
      million shares of the Company&#8217;s outstanding shares at a total cost of
      $197 million. This amount included 11.6 million shares at a cost of $102
      million in the second quarter, of which 8 million shares were purchased
      by National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation, the Company&#8217;s U.S.
      municipal bond insurance subsidiary, at a cost of $70 million in
      conjunction with a secondary offering by Warburg Pincus LLC.

      <b>Forward-Looking Statements</b>
    </p>
    <p>
      The information contained in this press release should be read in
      conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange
      Commission. 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;estimate,&#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 fiscal stress, the
      possibility that MBIA Corp. 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 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.
