FGIC Completes First Monoline-Wrapped RMBS Transaction in Mexico



    FGIC Corporation, the parent company of Financial Guaranty
    Insurance Company, announced today that FGIC has guaranteed its first
    residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) transaction in Mexico.
    This transaction also marks Mexico's first monoline-wrapped RMBS
    transaction. The deal closed on October 26, 2006.

    FGIC guaranteed the Series A tranche of a transaction for GMAC
    Financiera, a leading player in the Mexican mortgage market. The
    FGIC-wrapped tranche had an initial balance of UDI 178,435,700,
    equating to approximately USD $62 million. Credit Suisse was the
    Structuring and Placement Agent, with GMAC RFC Europe as the co-lead
    for international distribution. GMAC Financiera will act as the master
    servicer for the transaction.

    Jose Landa, Senior Managing Director for Latin America at GMAC
    Financiera, commented, "This was an important transaction in the
    evolution of the Mexican RMBS market. By combining a
    senior/subordinate structure with a full FGIC wrap, GMAC was able to
    achieve an excellent capital markets execution. We are pleased to
    pioneer this type of structure in Mexico."

    "For FGIC, this is another step forward as we expand our product
    offering in this region," said Eric Rosensweig, Managing Director of
    Emerging Markets & the Americas at FGIC. "After focusing on
    international future flow securitization in the Americas since June of
    last year, FGIC has decided to pursue select RMBS transactions in
    Mexico to extend our franchise."

    Thomas Adams, Senior Managing Director and head of FGIC's Consumer
    Asset-Backed Group, added, "We have successfully worked with GMAC and
    GMAC RFC around the globe, and it's great to add its Mexican affiliate
    to our list of active business partners. We consider this a logical
    step in our expansion of FGIC's mortgage-related business."
