# Ambac enters new regulatory stipulation with Wisconsin OCI, replacing 2018 order

## Summary
- New Stipulation and Order effective Feb 22, 2024, supersedes 2018 order (Case 17-C42069).
- OCI requires AAC to maintain surplus and contingency reserves at a level avoiding financial hazard; use a capital model per OCI specifications.
- Removed prior affirmative covenants on books/records and certain reporting; affiliate transaction threshold relaxed to lower of $25M or applicable limit.
- Non-ordinary course transactions ≥$100M by AAC require OCI non-disapproval; changes to Investment Policy or Derivative Use Plan need OCI approval.
- AFGI must use best efforts to preserve NOLs for AAC's benefit; OCI may terminate/modify order consistent with policyholder interests.
