New York, November 16, 2012 -- The review status of the short-term ratings of 23 variable rate demand bonds (VRDBs) was corrected to under review for downgrade. When Moody's initiated its review of Assured Guaranty (Assured) (Aa3) in March of this year, each of these short-term ratings was already under review in connection with Moody's review of the applicable provider of liquidity support in the form of a standby bond purchase agreement (SBPA). When Moody's concluded its reviews of the applicable SBPA providers, we neglected to leave these ratings under review to reflect Moody's review for downgrade of Assured, which is ongoing.

Each of these short-term ratings is based on the short-term rating of the SBPA provider and Moody's assesment of the risk that the SBPA will terminate without bondholders having the opportunity to tender their bonds. Events that could result in termination of these SBPAs without bondholders having such opportunity include non-payment by Assured of any valid insurance claim or other obligation on parity with such claims and downgrade of Assured below investment grade. Changes in Moody's credit opinion of Assured thus affect Moody's assessment of risk of termination of these SBPAs and Moody's short-term ratings of the VRDBs.

A schedule of the maximum short-term ratings that Moody's assigns to insured VRDBs with SBPAs that can terminate as a result of insurer credit events appears as Table 2 on page 3 of Moody's Special Comment titled "Issuers Can Strengthen Liquidity Agreements to Secure Top Short-Term Ratings" that was published in February of 2008 and can be accessed using the link below.
