At the public hearing the Authority will consider benefits. “Significant public benefits” include, among others, demonstrable savings in effective interest rate, bond preparation, bond underwriting or bond issuance costs

Background In 2006, PPFA issued variable rate demand lease revenue bonds in the aggregate amount of $47.3 million. Concurrently with the bonds, the City synthetically fixed the rate by entering into an interest rate swap agreement with Deutsche Bank. In 2011, the bonds were privately placed with MUFG Union Bank with an initial term until 2015. In 2013, the bonds were restructured and partially refunded to raise additional $30 million by issuing the 2013 A&B Series in the amounts of $34 million and $19.065 million respectively. The 2013 A&B bonds had an initial mandatory tender date of January 2, 2018 and were remarketed with a new mandatory tender date of January 2, 2019
Refunding Plan Given the shape of the taxable and tax exempt yield curves, it is most advantageous to refund the outstanding 2013A&B series at a fixed rate with conventional fixed rate bonds. Terminate the interest rate swap agreement with Deutsche bank. Estimated interest cost is currently at 3.83% for the tax-exempt Series A bonds. Estimated interest rate cost is currently 3.80% for the Series B taxable bonds.
Benefits This strategy will eliminate: • Interest rate risk – As short-term rates are expected to increase; • Eliminates the counterparty risk associated with the swap; • Eliminates the basis risk; • Eliminates the tax risk; • Refunds the hedged portion with the swap (4.02% synthetic rate) at a lower 3.83% rate; • Eliminates the debt service spike in 2024 by restructuring the principal amortization of the 2018B taxable bonds.
Fiscal Impact (continued) Estimated True Interest Cost • 2018A Tax-Exempt – 3.83% • 2018B Taxable – 3.80%
