Assured Guaranty Achieves Agreement on Puerto Rico Clawback Credits and Continues Support of Revised Puerto Rico GO and PBA Plan Support Agreement

Today, Assured Guaranty Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty), announced that its subsidiaries Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp. (AGM) and Assured Guaranty Corp. (AGC) have achieved an agreement in principle with the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico on a framework to settle their insured exposure to Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority and other Puerto Rico clawback credits (subject to definitive documentation) and that they continue to support the revised Puerto Rico General Obligation (GO) and Public Buildings Authority (PBA) Plan Support Agreement (GO and PBA PSA). Assured Guaranty made the following statement:

“Assured Guaranty has consistently supported a consensually negotiated and comprehensive approach to resolving Puerto Rico’s current financial challenges. It supports the GO and PBA PSA as part of a comprehensive solution that also addresses related Puerto Rico credits, including the Highway and Transportation Authority bonds and Convention Center District Authority bonds, in a manner that respects Assured Guaranty’s legal rights and achieves the ultimate goal of bringing the Title III process to a fair and expeditious conclusion.”

The right of AGM and AGC to withdraw from the GO and PBA PSA has been extended to accommodate the documentation of the agreement in principle announced today.

Assured Guaranty Ltd. is a publicly traded (NYSE: AGO), Bermuda-based holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Assured Guaranty provides credit enhancement products to the U.S. and international public finance, infrastructure and structured finance markets, and also provides asset management services.
