<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 &#147;forward-looking statements&#148; made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words &#147;believe,&#148;
&#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;will likely result,&#148; &#147;looking forward&#148; or &#147;will continue,&#148; 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,
increased credit losses or impairments on public finance obligations that National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (&#147;National&#148;) insures issued by state, local and territorial governments and finance authorities and other providers of
public services, located in the U.S. or abroad, that are experiencing fiscal stress; the possibility that loss reserve estimates are not adequate to cover potential claims; a disruption in the cash flow from National or an inability to access the
capital markets and our exposure to significant fluctuations in liquidity and asset values in the global credit markets as a result of collateral posting requirements; our ability to fully implement our strategic plan; the possibility that MBIA
Insurance Corporation will have inadequate liquidity or resources to timely pay claims as a result of higher than expected losses on certain insured transactions or as a result of a delay or failure in collecting expected recoveries, which could
lead the New York State Department of Financial Services (&#147;NYSDFS&#148;) to put MBIA Corp. into a rehabilitation or liquidation proceeding under Article 74 of the New York Insurance Law and/or take such other actions as the NYSDFS may deem
necessary to protect the interests of MBIA Insurance Corporation&#146;s policyholders; deterioration in the economic environment and financial markets in the United States or abroad, real estate market performance, credit spreads, interest rates and
foreign currency levels; and the effects of changes to governmental regulation, including insurance laws, securities laws, tax laws, legal precedents and accounting rules. These and other factors that could affect financial performance or could
cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in or underlying the MBIA Inc.&#146;s (the &#147;Company&#148;) forward-looking statements are discussed under the &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section in MBIA Inc.&#146;s most recent
Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q,</FONT> which may be updated or amended in the Company&#146;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. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement</B>. </P>

New MZF Notes to MBIA Corp. to refinance the Original Credit Agreement. The maturity date of the New Credit Agreement and the New MZF Notes will be January&nbsp;20, 2022. MBIA Corp. will issue new financial guaranty insurance policies (the
