The ASU shortens the amortization period for the premium on callable debt securities to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, a reporting entity generally amortizes the premium as yield adjustment over the contractual life (i.e. maturity) of the debt security and if that debt security is called, the entity would record a loss equal to the unamortized premium. The ASU does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount, which will continue to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU must be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We have not determined whether Ambac will early adopt this ASU and are evaluating the impact on Ambac's financial statements.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:4px;text-align:justify;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Costs</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:0px;text-align:justify;padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#000000;">In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#000000;font-style:italic;">Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:9pt;color:#000000;">. The objective of the ASU is to increase transparency in the reporting of net pension cost and net postretirement cost (collectively "net benefit cost"). The ASU requires that the service cost component of net benefit cost be reported on the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. It further requires that the other components of net benefit costs (i.e. interest costs, amortization of prior service cost, etc.) be presented separately from the service cost component and outside the subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. ASU 2017-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Ambac will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a consequential impact on Ambac's financial statements.</font></div></div>
