About Ambac
Ambac Financial Group, Inc. ("Ambac"), headquartered in New York City, is a holding company whose subsidiaries, including its
principal operating subsidiaries, Ambac Assurance Corporation ("AAC"), Everspan Financial Guarantee Corp. and Ambac Assurance UK
Limited ("Ambac UK"), provide financial guarantees to clients in both the public and private sectors globally. AAC, including
the Segregated Account of AAC (in rehabilitation), is a guarantor of public finance and structured finance obligations.
Ambac’s primary goal is to maximize stockholder value by executing the following key strategies: active runoff of AAC and its
subsidiaries through transaction terminations, policy commutations, settlements and restructurings that we believe will improve our
risk profile, and maximizing the risk-adjusted return on invested assets; loss recovery through litigation and exercise of
contractual and legal rights; improved cost effectiveness and efficiency of the operating platform; rationalization of AAC's
capital and liability structures, enabling simplification of corporate governance and facilitating the successful rehabilitation of
the Segregated Account; and selective business transactions offering attractive risk adjusted returns that, among other things, may
permit utilization of Ambac’s tax net operating loss carry-forwards. Ambac‘s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select
Market under the symbol “AMBC”. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Ambac contains substantial
restrictions on the ability to transfer Ambac’s common stock. Subject to limited exceptions, any attempted transfer of common stock
shall be prohibited and void to the extent that, as a result of such transfer (or any series of transfers of which such transfer is
a part), any person or group of persons shall become a holder of 5% or more of Ambac’s common stock or a holder of 5% or more of
Ambac's common stock increases its ownership interest. Ambac is committed to providing timely and accurate information to the
investing public, consistent with our legal and regulatory obligations. To that end, we use our website to convey information
