**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

Plan Administrator and Participants

MBIA Inc. Employee 401(k) Plan

Purchase, New York

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the MBIA Inc. Employee 401(k) Plan(the "Plan") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the Plan's management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Supplemental Information**

The supplemental information in the accompanying ERISA-required Supplemental Schedule H, line 4i- Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2025 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but included supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test

the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**

**<u>1. Plan Description</u>**

***General and Contributions***

The MBIA Inc. Employee 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan for eligible employees of MBIA Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company" or "Employer") who are at least 21 years of age. Leased employees, temporary employees and employees classified as interns are not eligible to participate in the Plan. Eligible participants may contribute up to 25% of their total eligible compensation into the Plan. Effective June 29, 2018, the MBIA Inc. Common Stock Fund was frozen and participants were no longer able to direct any future contributions or move money into this fund. The Plan offers a Roth 401(k) option. The Company matches employee contributions at the rate of 100% of each participant's contribution up to a maximum of 5%. Contributions are subject to certain limitations. Employer matching contributions are made in the form of cash, whereby participants may direct the Company match to an investment of their choice excluding the MBIA Inc. Common Stock Fund as of June 29, 2018. The Plan permits eligible employees to rollover funds from a previous employer's tax-qualified plan or tax-qualified individual retirement account.

Effective January 1, 2025, higher catch-up annual contribution limits were implemented for employees aged 60-63.

The Plan is administered by the MBIA Inc. Investment Management Committee and the Plan's assets are managed by Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Fidelity"), the investment advisor, trustee and custodian.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description and Plan Document for specific information regarding Plan provisions.

***Vesting and Forfeitures***

Vesting in employer contributions begins after two years of service and full vesting is achieved after five years of service. The Plan's vesting methodology is based on an "elapsed time" methodology, which provides for employees to be credited with a number of years of service equal to the number of whole years (12 consecutive months) based on an employee's period of service starting with hire date with the Employer regardless of whether or not such periods of service were completed consecutively as allowed under the service spanning rule. Participants are fully vested in their salary deferred contributions at all times including Roth 401(k) contributions. Upon reaching the normal retirement date, death or becoming disabled, a participant will be entitled to receive benefit payments. Nonvested benefits remaining after termination of employment are forfeited upon the earlier of a distribution or five-year period break in service and generally may serve to pay the Plan's administrative expenses and to reduce future Company contributions. During 2025 and 2024, $559 and $27,732, respectively, of forfeitures were used to fund the Company's matching contributions pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The forfeiture balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $8,688 and $186, respectively.

***Participant Accounts***

Each participant has an account which is credited with the Company's contribution, participant's contribution, and net results from the investment activities of the participant's account, reduced for any withdrawal activity and fees associated with certain participant initiated transactions and self-directed brokerage accounts. Upon retirement, disability, death or termination, a participant or beneficiary can elect to receive either a lump-sum distribution or installment distributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants' vested account.

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**

***Notes Receivable from Participants***

A participant may borrow from his or her account a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum for all participant loans equal to the lesser of $50,000 reduced by the excess, if any, of the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one-year period prior to the date of the loan over the current outstanding balance of loans or 50% of their vested account balance reduced by the then outstanding balance of any other loans that a participant received from the Plan. The Plan includes cross-plan loan service, which allows the Plan to take multiple plans maintained by the Company into consideration in calculating a participant's maximum loan available amount. This calculation combines the participant's vested account balances and outstanding loan balances across related plans. In addition, all loans across all plans will be aggregated in determining the highest loan balance over the past twelve months. Loan terms may range from 1 to 5 years, or longer for the purchase of a principal residence but not to exceed 10 years. The loans are collateralized by the vested account balance and bear a reasonable rate of interest as managed by Fidelity based on the interest rates charged for similar types of loans by other lenders. Principal and interest are paid ratably through semi-monthly payroll deductions or through direct payment from former employees.

**<u>2. Summary of Accounting Policies</u>**

***Basis of Accounting***

The financial statements have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

# *Use of Estimates* 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

# *Investments* 
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value.

The Plan's shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset value ("NAV") of shares held by the Plan at each year end. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded. Investments in common stock, including the Company's common stock and Exchange Traded Funds ("ETF"), are stated at fair value based on the last reported sales price on the last business day of the year in the active market in which the security is traded. The investments in the collective trusts are valued at NAV per unit, as determined by the trustee at year-end. The NAV is used as the practical expedient to estimate fair value. One of the Plan's investment options includes a self-directed brokerage account which allows participants to establish a brokerage account and select various investments consisting of mutual funds and ETFs.

The preceding methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income from investments is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Plan's net appreciation in the fair value of its investments consists of realized gains and losses and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments.

**EMPLOYEE 401(k) PLAN**

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**

***Contributions***

Contributions from eligible participants and matching Company contributions are recorded in the month the related payroll deductions are made.

***Notes Receivable from Participants***

Notes receivable from participants are stated at their unpaid principal balance, plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Loans outstanding are reflected as a receivable of the Plan. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

***Payment of Benefits***

Benefits are recorded when paid.

***Administrative Expenses and Revenue Credit Account***

Administrative expenses, which consist primarily of investment management, recordkeeping and auditing fees, are paid directly by the Company rather than from Plan assets, and are not reflected in the Plan's financial statements. Fees charged by Fidelity relating to certain participant initiated transactions and fees associated with self-directed brokerage accounts are paid from the respective participants' accounts.

The Plan may elect to allocate the revenue credit received from Fidelity, on a quarterly basis, to eligible participant's accounts based on a defined formula. The amount allocated for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $24,149. The revenue credit received from Fidelity was comparable to the administrative fees charged by Fidelity for the year ended December 31, 2025. The net revenue credit amount is included in interest and dividends in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

***Fair Value Measurements***

The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement" are described as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Valuations based on: a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.

To the extent that the valuation is based on inputs that are less observable or unobservable, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is more significant for the investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Estimated values do not necessarily represent the

**EMPLOYEE 401(k) PLAN**

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** 

**DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**

amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had the securities been readily marketable. The Plan has no level 3 investments. There have been no changes in the valuation methodologies or inputs used to value Plan assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 5, Investments, for information regarding the fair value of Plan investments.

**<u>3. Risks and Uncertainties</u>**

Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.

**<u>4. Plan Termination</u>**

The Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue its contributions or terminate the Plan. However, it reserves the right to temporarily suspend contributions to or amend or terminate the Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the accounts of all affected participants shall become fully vested, and the net assets of the Plan shall be distributed among the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan in proportion to their respective account balances, subject to the provisions of ERISA.

**<u>5. Investments</u>**

The Plan's investment assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 2. The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, information about the Plan's assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

***Collective Trusts***

The Plan has two collective trust investments, the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio Fund (the "MIP") and the Fidelity Growth Company Commingled Pool (the "Growth Co. Pool"). Under the terms of each respective investment's Declaration of Trust, withdrawals directed by the Plan Sponsor, not the participants, must be preceded by a 12 month written notice to the MIP and a 30 day written notice to the Growth Co. Pool. These are direct filing entities.

**<u>6. Tax Status</u>**

Effective August 6, 2021, the Plan adopted the Fidelity Pre-Approved Defined Contribution Plan ("Pre-Approved Plan"). The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") ruled on June 30, 2020, that the Pre-Approved Plan, including related amendments, as designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since the adoption of the Pre-Approved Plan. The Plan management believes the Plan is currently designed and is being operated in accordance with the IRC.

GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

**<u>7. Related Party and Party-In-Interest Transactions</u>**

Certain Plan investments and shares of the Company's common stock are managed by Fidelity, the investment advisor, trustee and custodian for the Plan. The investments with MBIA Inc. common stock were $1,118,158 and $1,320,419 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's common stock comprises approximately 1% of the net assets available for benefits as of both years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Notes receivable from participants also qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

**<u>8. Subsequent Events</u>**

The Plan's management has evaluated subsequent events through June 9, 2026, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events requiring adjustments to the financial statements or disclosures.

Effective January 1, 2026, employees that are eligible to make catch-up contributions and earn more than $150,000 in Federal Insurance Contributions Act ("FICA") wages during 2025, must make any catch-up contributions as Roth after-tax contributions. Any employee that is eligible to make catch-up contributions but made less than the set amount in FICA wages in the previous year may still choose to have any catch-up contributions made as traditional or Roth after-tax contributions.
