YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY

September 17, 2024

Dear Stockholder:
We recently mailed you proxy materials in connection with the special meeting of stockholders of Ambac Financial Group, Inc. (“Ambac”) to be held virtually on October 16, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Your voting participation is requested for this important meeting.
Please vote your proxy today. Internet and telephone voting are available by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting form you received.
As set forth in the proxy statement, dated September 6, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”) previously sent to you, at the Ambac special meeting, Ambac stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals to (1) approve the stock purchase agreement, dated June 4, 2024, by and among Ambac and American Acorn Corporation (“Buyer”), a Delaware corporation owned by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase Agreement”), providing for the sale by Ambac to Buyer of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Ambac Assurance Corporation, a Wisconsin stock insurance company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambac (the “Sale”), as fully described in the Proxy Statement (the “Sale Proposal”), (2) to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation that may, under certain circumstances, be paid or provided by Ambac to its named executive officers in connection with the Sale and other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Compensation Proposal”) and (3) to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in order to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the Sale Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
After careful consideration, the Ambac Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the Sale Proposal, the Compensation Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.
The approval of the Sale Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Ambac common stock entitled to vote thereon (the “Required Stockholder Approval”).
The closing of the Sale is conditioned upon Ambac obtaining the Required Stockholder Approval at the special meeting. Accordingly, every vote - no matter how large or small - is important.
Please vote your shares today. Please take advantage of Internet or telephone voting as the most prompt means to record your vote and avoid further solicitation costs.
