  2. Keeping the Credits or Selling Them? • If the Developer Can Use Them, The Credits Are Most Valuable When Kept • If They Are to be Sold, Remember That ‘Selling Credits’ is a Misnomer • The Drop Dead Date to Close on The Sale of the Credits is The Date of Completion of All or a Portion of the Building Reznick Group Building Business Value

  3. Pricing Metrics for Credits • Credits Are Priced Based on Each $1.00 of Credit • e.g. Buyer Pays $0.95 for Each $1.00 of Credit Generated • The Pricing Depends on The Magnitude of Credits • Big Deals vs. Small Deals • Big Deals Can Be Priced Over $1.00/$1.00 of Credit • Small Deals Usually Less Than $1.00/$1.00 of Credit • Pricing Also Depends on How Quickly Developer Needs/Wants Money from Credit Buyer • Pricing Also Depends on Typical Underwriting Criteria: of the project, developer, etc. Reznick Group Building Business Value

  4. Where Credits Fit in The Capital Stack • It’s Not Just a Question of How They Fit But Also When • Need to Consider the Bridge Financing Need and the Cost to Bridge • In the Final Capital Stack, the Tax Credit Equity Is No More Than +/- 20% of Total Development Costs, and Probably Less • The Gross Price is The Proceeds Available to Get the Building Built Reznick Group Building Business Value

  5. It’s The Net Price That Matters in the End • Economic Returns Are Required by Credit Buyers • Cash on Cash Return – Typically 2-3%/year for 5 years, based on Contributed Capital • Exit Fee – 10-15% of Contributed Capital • Plus a Portion of Depreciation – At Least 10% • Potential Tax Liability Payments • Transaction/Closing Costs • Ongoing Administrative Costs • Loss of Any Building Efficiencies to Meet Standards Reznick Group Building Business Value
