  1. Gross Par and Net Par include capital appreciation bonds ("CABS") which are reported at the par amount at the time of issuance of the insurance policy Accretion of the CABS would increase the related gross and net par by $219 million and $215 million, respectively at March 31, 2021
  2. Net Par and Net Principal & Interest are net of reinsurance
  3. Subject to Act No. 5-2017, as amended, also known as the Financial Emergency and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2017, which declares an emergency period that has been subsequently re-extended until June 30, 2021, from its prior December 31, 2020 deadline. Pursuant to Act 5-2017, all executive orders issued under Act No. 21-2016 (as amended, known as the Puerto Rico Emergency Moratorium and Financial Rehabilitation Act), shall continue in full force and effect until amended, rescinded or superseded. Also subject to the Priority Debt Provision under Section 8 of Article VI of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, commonly known as the "clawback provision"

Both the Gross and Net Principal & Interest do not reflect an interest rate increase from 5.5% to 10%, resulting from the lack of a remarketing, on a $60 million Ambac-insured 7/1/2035 security issued by the PR Public Building Authority. Should a remarketing not occur before the maturity of the bonds, both the Gross and Net Principal & Interest would increase by $38.0 million
