-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Securities, which were withdrawn from listing on the NYSE by Assured effective July 31, 2009, have been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Assured. The re-listing of the Securities will not affect the Company's guaranty, which will remain in full force and effect, or any of the other terms of the Securities.

From the delisting of the Securities from the NYSE until October 15, 2009, the Securities were available for trading on third party quotation systems and prices and trading volumes were available to investors and securities firms on public websites as well as via the third party quotation systems. On October 15, 2009, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") moved the Securities to its Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine ("TRACE") corporate debt reporting system.

"In order to improve the public price and trading transparency of these Securities, Assured has decided to re-list the Securities on the NYSE," stated Dominic Frederico, President and Chief Executive Officer of Assured. "As the world's leading financial guaranty insurer active in the market today, we are deeply committed to providing investors with the information that they need in order to make an informed decision about buying both bonds that we insure as well as our own debt securities."

Assured expects that the re-listing of the Securities will be effective by the end of the year. The re-listing will be subject to the approval of the NYSE and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Assured Guaranty Ltd. is a publicly-traded Bermuda-based holding company (NYSE ticker symbol: AGO). Its operating subsidiaries provide credit enhancement products to the U.S.
