Assured Guaranty Re Rating Agency Information


Please Note: On February 24, 2010, Fitch Ratings agreed to a request by Assured Guaranty to withdraw the Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) and debt ratings of Assured Guaranty Corp. (“AGC”), Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (“AGM”), Assured Guaranty Re Ltd. and other rated subsidiaries of Assured Guaranty at the current rating levels. 
    Assured Guaranty made the request following Fitch Ratings’ announcement that it is withdrawing its IFS ratings on all insured bonds for which it does not provide an underlying rating on the issuer. As Fitch’s action withdrew the bond insurer ratings on securities of approximately 90% of the issuers in AGC’s and AGM’s combined insured portfolio, Assured Guaranty believes the ratings no longer provide the same value to investors in our insured transactions. If Fitch’s participation in the municipal bond market should expand significantly in the future, Assured Guaranty would consider renewing its relationship with Fitch.
