Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court approved Ambac's entry into an amendment to the existing tax sharing agreement with Ambac Assurance Corporation as well as certain modifications to Ambac's Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan").

In addition, all existing common stock of the company will be cancelled on the Effective Date and the holders of such stock will not receive any distributions under the Plan. Ambac has received approval from the NASDAQ OMX Group to list the New Common and New Warrants on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, as of the Effective Date, under the ticker symbols AMBC and AMBCW, respectively. About Ambac On November 8, 2010, Ambac Financial Group, Inc. ("Ambac") filed for a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Bankruptcy Code").
