Basis of Presentation

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

Guaranties of Obligations of Affiliates

AGL fully and unconditionally guarantees all of the U.S. Holding Companies’ debt. See Note 12, 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 October 2023, the commitment was extended until October 25, 2033 (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, 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. In July of 2023, the U.K. government passed legislation to implement the OECD BEPS Pillar Two income inclusion rule, which includes a multinational top-up tax which will apply to large multinational corporations for accounting periods beginning on or after December 31, 2023. It is expected this will apply to AGL, requiring a minimum effective rate of 15% in all jurisdictions in which it operates. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for further information regarding AGL’s income taxes.
