Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
The following information, including the Exhibit to this Form 8-K, is being
furnished pursuant to Item 8.01 - Other Events of Form 8-K.
On November 23, 2004, MBIA Inc. issued a press release announcing that on
Thursday, November 18, it had received identical document subpoenas from the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Attorney General's office
requesting information with respect to non-traditional or loss mitigation
insurance products developed, offered or sold by MBIA to third parties from
January 1, 1998 to the present. The subpoenas did not identify any specific
transaction.
However, in a subsequent call made by the Company to the SEC, a representative
of the SEC indicated that the investigation will include the reinsurance
arrangements entered into by MBIA in 1998 in connection with the bankruptcy of
the Delaware Valley Obligated Group (DVOG), an entity that is part of
Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation (AHERF).
As previously noted, MBIA intends to cooperate fully with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the New York Attorney General's request for documents.
