CapMAC Holdings Inc. ("CapMAC") and MBIA Inc. ("MBIA") announced that
on January 16, 1998, MBIA, CMA Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of MBIA ("Merger Sub"), and CapMAC entered into Amendment No. 1,
dated January 16, 1998 (the "Amendment"), to their Agreement and Plan of Merger,
dated as of November 13, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"), revising the terms of
the Merger Agreement to reduce the exchange ratio for determining the number of
shares of MBIA common stock to be received in the merger by holders of CapMAC
common stock.
Under the revised merger terms, each share of CapMAC common stock will
be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of MBIA common stock
obtained by dividing $31.00 (rather than $35.00 as originally provided) by the
average of the closing sales prices of MBIA common stock on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Tape for the 15 trading days preceding the third trading day
prior to the effective time of the merger. In contrast to the original merger
terms, such exchange ratio will not be subject to any "collars" in the event of
a significant change in the price of MBIA's stock. A copy of the Amendment is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
On January 16, 1998, MBIA and CapMAC issued a joint press release
announcing the execution of the Amendment. A copy of MBIA and CapMAC's joint
press release dated January 16, 1998 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is
incorporated herein by reference.

CAPMAC HOLDINGS INC. AND MBIA INC.
LOWER EXCHANGE RATIO OF THEIR PENDING MERGER
Armonk, NY and New York, NY, January 16, 1998 - CapMAC Holdings Inc. (NYSE:KAP)
and MBIA Inc. (NYSE:MBI) announced that they have revised the terms of their
merger agreement to reduce the exchange ratio for determining the number of
shares of MBIA common stock to be received in the merger by holders of CapMAC
common stock.
Under the revised merger terms, each share of CapMAC common stock will be
converted into the right to receive the number of shares of MBIA common stock
obtained by dividing $31 (rather than $35 as originally provided) by the average
of the closing price of MBIA common stock for the 15 trading days preceding the
third trading day prior to the effective time of the merger. In contrast to the
original merger terms, the $31 exchange ratio will not be subject to any
"collars" in the event of a significant change in the price of MBIA's stock.
CapMAC and MBIA said the revision of the merger exchange ratio resulted from the
recent downgrading by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service to below
investment grade of the sovereign credit ratings of various Asian countries,
including various countries in which CapMAC has exposure. CapMAC said that no
claims have arisen under policies issued by CapMAC, whose portfolio continues to
perform according to expectations. On January 15, 1998 Standard & Poor's also
downgraded its credit rating of Asian Securitization and Infrastructure
Assurance (Pte) Ltd. ("ASIA Ltd"), a bond guarantor specializing in Asian
obligations in which CapMAC has an 11% equity interest. The downgradings of
Asian sovereign ratings and of ASIA Ltd have resulted in corresponding
downgrades in selected underlying ratings within CapMAC's insured portfolio. In
addition, reinsurance that
<PAGE>
CapMAC has received from ASIA Ltd is now from a non-
investment grade provider. As a result, Standard & Poor's has indicated to
CapMAC that additional capital would be required. CapMAC has obtained from MBIA
and other insurance companies commitments to provide additional capital support.
David H. Elliott, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MBIA, said "MBIA
continues to believe that a merger with CapMAC is in our best strategic
interests. With the revised merger terms, we also believe that this
transaction furthers MBIA's financial objectives." John B. Caouette, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of CapMAC, said, "We don't believe that recent
developments in Asia will have any long-term impact on our portfolio and we
appreciate the endorsement of that view by MBIA and other insurers through their
commitment to provide additional capital to CapMAC. Given our need for
additional capital, CapMAC's Board of Directors believes that the revised merger
terms are in the best interests of CapMAC's stockholders."
CapMAC and MBIA said their current expectation is that the merger will be
consummated in mid to late February.

solutions; financial guarantee insurance of structured securities, primarily
