At December 31, 2024 and 2023, Ambac holds warrants to purchase equity shares of a development stage company. During 2024, Ambac entered into US dollar/British pound sterling foreign exchange (FX) forward contracts to protect against currency fluctuations related to the purchase of Beat. Ambac's FX forward position was closed concurrent with the Beat purchase closed and the contracts matured October 4, 2024.
In addition, Beat utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to partially hedge its foreign currency exposure. Beat’s functional currency is the British Pound, but a significant portion of its revenues are generated in currencies other then the British Pound, particularly the US Dollar. Beat, therefore, typically enters into forward contracts to partially hedge its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the British Pound. In connection with our acquisition of Beat and the growth profile of its business, we will be re-evaluating our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and related hedging strategy.

Ambac had no FX forward contacts as of December 31, 2023. Information about FX forward contracts as of December 31, 2024, is summarized below.
