Financial Security Assurance Holdings to Delist Bonds

Financial Security Assurance Holdings Ltd. ("FSAH”), a subsidiary of Assured Guaranty Ltd., ("Assured”) (NYSE: AGO), today announced that it has notified the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") of its intention to voluntarily withdraw the following debt securities (the "Securities") from listing on the Exchange due to the small number of holders of record of the Securities and low secondary trading volume.

FSAH expects the delisting to become effective on or about July 24, 2009.

Delisting the Securities will not affect their terms or the issuer’s obligation to pay principal and interest on the securities. After the delisting, holders of the Securities will continue to receive any interest and principal payments through the trustee, U.S. Bank National Association. The Securities will not be listed on another national securities exchange. Assured’s common shares will continue to be listed on the Exchange.
