The Securities, which were withdrawn from listing on the NYSE by Assured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.
