MBIA Corp. provides notice to the Fiscal Agent when it will not make a scheduled interest payment. The deferred interest payment will become due on the first business day on or after which MBIA Corp. obtains approval from the NYSDFS to make such payment. No interest will accrue on the deferred interest. The surplus notes were callable at par at the option of MBIA Corp. on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, and are callable at par on January 15, 2028 and on any other date at par plus a make-whole amount, subject to prior approval by the Superintendent and other restrictions. The cash received from the issuance of surplus notes was used for general business purposes and the deferred debt issuance costs are being amortized over the term of the surplus notes.

MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 10: Debt (continued) Variable Interest Entit y Debt VIE notes elected to be recorded at fair value are debt instruments that were issued primarily in U.S. dollars by VIEs consolidated within the Company’s international and structured finance insurance segment. These VIE notes consist of debt instruments issued by issuer-sponsored consolidated VIEs collateralized by assets held by those consolidated VIEs. Holders of insured obligations of issuer-sponsored VIEs do not have recourse to the general assets of the Company. In the event of non-payment of an obligation issued by a consolidated VIE, the Company is obligated to pay principal and interest, when due, on MBIA-insured obligations only. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate unpaid contractual principal of consolidated VIE notes was $328 million and $780 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the unpaid contractual principal of MBIA-insured consolidated VIE notes was $96 million and $189 million, respectively, which excludes liabilities where the Company’s insured exposure has been fully offset by way of loss remediation transactions. Refer to “Note 7: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for information about the fair values of consolidated VIE notes. The following table provides the expected principal payments due under MBIA-insured consolidated VIE notes as of December 31, 2023, which are net of principal payments where the Company’s insured exposure has been fully offset by way of loss remediation transactions. For RMBS consolidated VIEs, principal amounts are based on the expected maturity dates and for all other consolidated VIEs, principal amounts are based on the contractual maturity dates.

Following the creation of a litigation trust established to liquidate the Zohar Collateral pursuant to a plan of liquidation that became effective in August of 2022, certain lenders agreed to make term loans to fund the trust that the Company consolidates as a VIE, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the commitment amount. Loans made to the trust bear interest at 18% per annum, mature on August 2, 2027, and can be prepaid at any time in part or in whole, in some cases subject to certain fees. Accrued interest due on the interest payment date is capitalized and added to the outstanding principal in lieu of cash payment. Loans are secured by recoveries from the litigation claims transferred into the trust. Proceeds received from the settlement of the litigation claims are first applied to the outstanding loan balances and, to the extent of any excess, distributed to the trust beneficiaries or used to permanently reduce the unused commitment amounts. During 2022, the third party loan funded at a principal amount of $7 million was partially repaid and as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the outstanding balance was $3 million and $2 million, respectively. The outstanding unfunded commitment available to the litigation trust as of December 31, 2023 was $9 million.
