complaint also alleges that certain transfers under the Transactions were fraudulent in that they allegedly left MBIA<br />

Corp. with “unreasonably small capital” (Count II), “insolvent” (Count III), <strong>and</strong> were made with an “actual intent to<br />

defraud” (Count IV). The complaint seeks a judgment (a) ordering the defendants to unwind the Transactions,<br />

(b) declaring that the Transactions constituted a fraudulent conveyance, <strong>and</strong> (c) damages in an unspecified amount.<br />

Defendants filed their motion to dismiss on April 27, 2009. On October 28, 2009 the Court <strong>of</strong> Chancery issued an<br />

order granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss this case without prejudice.<br />

On May 13, 2009, a complaint was filed in the New York State Supreme Court against the Company <strong>and</strong><br />

its subsidiaries, MBIA Corp. <strong>and</strong> National, entitled ABN AMRO Bank N.V. et al. v. MBIA Inc. et al. The plaintiffs, a<br />

group <strong>of</strong> 19 domestic <strong>and</strong> international financial institutions, purport to be acting as holders <strong>of</strong> insurance policies<br />

issued by MBIA Corp. directly or indirectly guaranteeing the repayment <strong>of</strong> structured finance products. The<br />

complaint alleges that certain <strong>of</strong> the terms <strong>of</strong> the transactions entered into by the Company <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries,<br />

which were approved by the New York State Department <strong>of</strong> Insurance, constituted fraudulent conveyances <strong>and</strong> a<br />

breach <strong>of</strong> the implied covenant <strong>of</strong> good faith <strong>and</strong> fair dealing under New York law. The complaint seeks a judgment<br />

(a) ordering the defendants to unwind the Transactions (b) declaring that the Transactions constituted a fraudulent<br />

conveyance, (c) declaring that MBIA Inc. <strong>and</strong> National are jointly <strong>and</strong> severally liable for the insurance policies<br />

issued by MBIA Corp., <strong>and</strong> (d) damages in an unspecified amount. Defendants filed their motion to dismiss on<br />

June 11, 2009.<br />

On June 15, 2009, the same group <strong>of</strong> 19 domestic <strong>and</strong> international financial institutions who filed the<br />

above described plenary action in New York State Supreme Court filed a proceeding pursuant to Article 78 <strong>of</strong> New<br />

York’s Civil Practice Law & Rules in New York State Supreme Court against the New York Insurance Department,<br />

Eric Dinallo in his capacity as Superintendent for the Department, <strong>and</strong> MBIA Inc. <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries, MBIA Corp.<br />

<strong>and</strong> National, entitled ABN AMRO Bank N.V. et al. v. Eric Dinallo, in his capacity as Superintendent <strong>of</strong> the New<br />

York Insurance Department, the New York State Insurance Department, MBIA Inc. et al. In its motions to dismiss<br />

the three above-referenced plenary actions, MBIA Inc. argued that an Article 78 proceeding is the exclusive forum<br />

in which a plaintiff may raise any challenge to the Transactions approved by the Superintendent <strong>and</strong> the Department.<br />

The petition seeks a judgment (a) declaring void <strong>and</strong> to annul the approval letter <strong>of</strong> the Superintendent <strong>of</strong> Insurance,<br />

(b) to recover dividends paid in connection with the Transactions, (c) declaring that the approval letter does not<br />

extinguish plaintiffs’ direct claims against MBIA Inc. <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries in the plenary action described above.<br />

MBIA Inc. believes that the litigation described above filed against it <strong>and</strong> its subsidiaries in connection<br />

with the Transactions is without merit <strong>and</strong> intends to contest it vigorously.<br />
