Basis of Presentation

These condensed financial statements of Assured Guaranty Ltd. (AGL) should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Assured Guaranty Ltd. is a Bermuda-based holding company that provides, through its operating subsidiaries, credit protection products to the U.S. and international public finance (including infrastructure) and structured finance markets, as well as asset management services. See Note 1, Business and Basis of Presentation for further information regarding the basis of presentation.

Guarantees of Obligations of Affiliates

AGL fully and unconditionally guarantees all of the U.S. Holding Companies’ debt. See Note 13, Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities, for additional information.

Credit Facility with Affiliate

On October 25, 2013, AGL, as borrower, and AGUS, as lender, entered into a revolving credit facility pursuant to which AGL may, from time to time, borrow for general corporate purposes. Under the credit facility, AGUS committed to lend a principal amount not exceeding $225 million in the aggregate. In September 2018, AGL and AGUS amended the revolving credit facility to extend the commitment until October 25, 2023 (the loan commitment termination date). The unpaid principal amount of each loan will bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 100% of the then applicable interest rate as determined under
Section 1274(d) of the Code, and interest on all loans will be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. Accrued interest on all loans will be paid on the last day of each June and December, beginning on December 31, 2013, and at maturity. AGL must repay the then unpaid principal amounts of the loans by the third anniversary of the loan commitment termination date. No amounts are currently outstanding under the credit facility.

Income Taxes

AGL is not subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes under current Bermuda law. In November 2013, AGL became tax resident in the U.K. although it remains a Bermuda-based company and its administrative and head office functions continue to be carried on in Bermuda. See Note 15, Income Taxes for further information regarding AGL’s income taxes.
