Forward-looking statements are being made in this presentation. Actual results could differ materially from these statements. For example, the Company’s forward looking statements, including its calculations of adjusted book value, PVP, net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force, total estimated net future premium earnings, and statements regarding capital losses, pricing, ratings, expenses and new business production could be affected by many events. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: downgrades of financial strength ratings assigned by the major rating agencies to any of our insurance subsidiaries at any time, which has occurred in the past; downgrades of transactions we insure; our inability to execute our business strategy; reduction in the amount of reinsurance facultative cessions or portfolio opportunities available to us; contract cancellations; developments in the world’s financial capital markets that adversely affect our loss experience, the demand for our products, our access to capital, our unrealized (losses) gains on derivative financial instruments or our investment returns; more severe or frequent losses associated with our insurance products, or changes in our assumptions used to estimate loss reserves and realized (losses) gains on derivative financial instruments; changes in regulation or tax laws applicable to us, our subsidiaries or customers; governmental actions; natural catastrophes; the Company’s dependence on customers; decreased demand for our insurance or reinsurance products or increased competition in our markets; loss of key personnel; technological developments; the effects of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; changes in accounting policies or practices; changes in the credit markets, segments thereof or general economic conditions, including the overall level of activity in the economy or particular sectors, interest rates, credit spreads and other factors; other risks and uncertainties that have not been identified at this time; and management’s response to these factors. See the Company’s SEC filings and latest earnings press release and financial supplement, which are available on its website, for more information on factors that could affect its forward-looking statements.

FSA Acquisition Takes Us to the Next Level FSA has a longstanding and successful track record, particularly in U.S. public finance Insured portfolio (excluding financial products segment) of $417 billion as of March 31, 2009, with U.S. public finance accounting for 71% Acquisition price of $8761 million represents an effective multiple of 0.48x March 31, 2009 GAAP book value (excluding financial products segment) Implied price reflects higher Assured share price today but results in fewer shares to be issued (increases EPS accretion) To be funded through $545 million in cash and 22.3 million shares to Dexia Dexia shares represent 16% of primary outstanding shares following the offering Acquisition excludes financial products segment of FSA Credit and liquidity risks are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Dexia and supported by French and Belgium governments Immediately and significantly accretive to earnings and returns Further supplemented by $40 to $50 million (pre-tax) of run rate expense savings to be achieved by end of the first full year following the acquisition DAC of FSA to be eliminated at time of acquisition under purchase accounting (eliminates approximately $36 million pre-tax expense over the next twelve months) Deal is expected to close July 1, 2009; acquisition price calculated based on $544.3 million cash payment plus 22,283,951 AGO shares issued to Dexia with a market value of $14.89 per share (closing price 6/12/09).

FSA Acquisition Enhances our Market Position The combination forms the global leader in financial guaranty $655 billion in net par outstanding (March 31, 2009) Combined claims paying resources of $13 billion and invested assets of $10 billion Provides issuers and investors with a large and stable source of capacity Will provide issuers with two options: FSA as U.S. public finance only and Assured Guaranty Corp. as a diversified insurer Increase market access and reduce borrowing costs for municipalities and other issuers Improved secondary market liquidity for issuers and investors, after ratings status clarified FSA structured finance portfolio generates significant excess capital over time as par outstanding runs off Ability to redeploy in business or for capital management, depending on return opportunities Expands global footprint and access to international markets Expect international infrastructure to be a significant source of future business

The super senior category, which is not generally used by rating agencies, is used by the Company in instances where Assured's AAA-rated exposure has additional credit enhancement due to either (1) the existence of another security rated AAA that is subordinated to Assured's exposure or (2) Assured's exposure benefits from a different form of credit enhancement that would pay any claims first in the event that any of the exposures incurs a loss and such credit enhancement, in management's opinion, causes Assured's attachment point to be materially above the AAA attachment point. 2."Average Credit Enhancement" is intended to provide a measure of the amount of equity and/or subordinate tranches that are junior in the capital structure to Assured's exposure, expressed as a percentage of the total transaction size and reflects any reduction of that credit support resulting from defaults or other factors. For transactions where excess spread may be available to absorb certain losses, the amounts shown above do not include any benefit from excess spread. The calculation methodologies differ for the various asset classes to reflect differences in transaction structures in order to provide a measure that management believes is comparable across asset classes. Data is obtained from third-party sources such as trustee reports and may be subject to misstatement or correction. 3. Consists of one transaction whereby Assured's exposure is principal-protected by a collateral account currently containing $79 million in assets and representing 106% of current net par.

Insured transactions previously insured by another monoline (i.e., where FSA would be the second to pay) are shown with a rating equal to the higher of FSA's estimate of the rating of the underlying transaction and the internal FSA rating of the other monoline. The internal FSA rating of the monoline generally reflects the lowest rating agency rating. "Average Credit Enhancement" is intended to provide a measure of the amount of equity and/or subordinate tranches that are junior in the capital structure to FSA's exposure, expressed as a percentage of the total transaction size and reflects any reduction of that credit support resulting from defaults or other factors. For transactions where excess spread may be available to absorb certain losses, the amounts shown above do not include any benefit from excess spread. The calculation methodologies differ for the various asset classes to reflect differences in transaction structures in order to provide a measure that management believes is comparable across asset classes.

Appendix: Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Appendix: Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Present value of financial guaranty and credit derivative gross written premiums, or PVP, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as gross upfront and installment premiums received and the present value of gross estimated future installment premiums, on insurance and credit derivative contracts written in the current period, discounted at 6% per year. Management believes that PVP is a useful measure for management, investors and analysts because it permits the evaluation of the value of new business production for Assured by taking into account the value of estimated future installment premiums on all new contracts underwritten in a reporting period, whether in insurance or credit derivative contract form, which GAAP gross premiums written and the net credit derivative premiums received and receivable portion of net realized gains and other settlement on credit derivatives (“credit derivative revenues”) does not adequately measure. Management discounts estimated future installment premiums on insurance contracts for PVP at 6% per year, while under FAS 163 these amounts are discounted at a risk free rate. Additionally, under FAS 163 management records future installment premiums on financial guaranty insurance contracts covering non-homogeneous pools of assets based on the contractual term of the contract whereas for PVP management only records its estimate of the future installment premiums that it expects to receive based on the contractual terms of the transaction. Actual future net earned or written premiums and credit derivative revenues may differ from PVP due to factors such as prepayments, amortizations, refundings, contract terminations or defaults that may or may not be influenced by market interest rates, refinancing or refunding activity, prepayment speeds, policy changes or terminations, credit defaults, or other factors that management cannot control or predict. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for gross written premiums determined in accordance with GAAP. Operating income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) excluding i) after-tax realized gains (losses) on investments and ii) after-tax unrealized gains (losses) on credit derivatives and the fair value adjustment of the Company's committed capital securities, other than the Company’s net estimate of after-tax incurred case and portfolio loss and loss adjusted expense reserves for credit derivatives. Operating return on equity (ROE) represents operating income as a percentage of average shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income and after-tax unrealized gains (losses) on credit derivatives. Management believes that operating income and operating ROE are useful measures for management, investors and analysts because the presentation of operating income and operating ROE enhance the understanding of Assured's results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of Assured's business. Realized gains (losses) on investments and unrealized gains (losses) on credit derivatives and the fair value adjustment of the Company's committed capital securities, other than the portion attributable to the Company's net estimate of incurred case and portfolio loss and loss adjustment expense reserves for credit derivatives, are excluded because the amount of both of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates, in part, according to changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and other factors that management cannot control or predict. These measures should not be viewed as substitutes for net income (loss) or ROE determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted book value, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined, subsequent to the adoption of FAS 163 in the first quarter of 2009, as shareholders’ equity (book value) plus the after-tax value of the unearned premium reserve, which includes estimated future installment premiums in force, discounted at the risk free rate, net of prepaid reinsurance premiums, the after-tax value of unearned premium on credit derivatives net of prepaid reinsurance premiums and the after-tax net present value of estimated future installment premiums on credit derivatives in force, less future ceding commissions, discounted at 6%, less after-tax deferred acquisition costs. Adjusted book value, prior to the adoption of FAS 163, was defined as shareholders’ equity (book value) plus the after-tax value of the unearned premium reserve net of prepaid reinsurance premiums, the after-tax value of unearned premium on credit derivatives net of prepaid reinsurance premiums and the after-tax net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force, less future ceding commissions, discounted at 6%, less after-tax deferred acquisition costs. Management believes that adjusted book value is a useful measure for management, equity analysts and investors because the calculation of adjusted book value permits an evaluation of the net present value of the Company’s in force premiums and shareholders’ equity. The premiums described above will be earned in future periods, but may differ materially from the estimated amounts used in determining current adjusted book value due to changes in market interest rates, refinancing or refunding activity, prepayment speeds, policy changes or terminations, credit defaults and other factors that management cannot control or predict. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for book value determined in accordance with GAAP. Net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as the present value of estimated future installment premiums from our credit derivative in-force books of business, net of reinsurance and discounted at 6%. Management believes that net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force is a useful measure for management, investors and analysts because it permits an evaluation of the value of future estimated credit derivative installment premiums. Estimated future premiums may change from period to period due to changes in par outstanding, maturity, or other factors that management cannot control or predict that result from market interest rates, refinancing or refunding activity, prepayment speeds, policy changes or terminations, credit defaults, or other factors. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure. For adjusted book value, net present value of estimated future installment premiums in force, and PVP, Assured uses 6% as the present value discount rate because it is the approximate taxable equivalent yield on Assured's investment portfolio for the periods presented.

Appendix: PVP1 – Reconciliation to Gross Written Premiums For an explanation of PVP, a non-GAAP financial measure, please refer to the Appendix: Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Q1 2009 amount represents the difference in management estimates for the discount rate applied to future installments as well as the estimated term for future installments compared to FAS 163.

Appendix: Reconciliation of Operating Income to Net Income (Loss)2 The quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 included a fair value after-tax gain of $12.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, and $5.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, respectively, related to Assured Guaranty Corp.'s committed capital securities. Some amounts may not add due to rounding. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP”), which clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents before vesting should be considered participating securities and shall be included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Upon retrospective adoption of the FSP, Assured increased previously reported diluted EPS by $0.02 for the Q1 2008. Operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for both periods is positive, therefore the per diluted share calculation ignores the effect of the FSP and includes the effect of dilutive securities. Total may not add due to differences in calculating GAAP and non-GAAP per diluted share amounts.
