7 ARBITRAGE REBATE Rules Established - Arbitrage rebate rules are established for all tax-exempt debt as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 Established to discourage Issuers from creating arbitrage bonds which can result from the following: Issuing too much debt Issuing debt before a legitimate need Allowing debt to stay outstanding longer then necessary Established a long list of rules for Issuers to follow for the life of the debt Established exemptions for issues of a certain size and for certain funds 7
8 SMALL ISSUER EXEMPTION New Money Debt for Public Schools - Public school tax-exempt debt issued from 1/1/98 12/31/01 ($10,000,000 limit): All tax-exempt debt issued in a calendar year cannot exceed $10,000,000. $5,000,000 may be used for any purpose. p Any amount over $5,000,000, (up to $5,000,000), must be used for public school construction as part of the additional $5,000,000 limit. Public school tax-exempt debt issued from 1/1/02 current ($15,000,000 limit): All tax-exempt debt issued in a calendar year cannot exceed $15,000,000. $5,000,000 may be used for any purpose.

9 SMALL ISSUER EXEMPTION CONTINUED Refunding Debt - The debt being refunded (old debt) qualified for the Small Issuer Exception The weighted average maturity of the refunding debt (new debt) does not exceed the weighted average maturity of the refunded debt (old debt) The refunding debt (new debt) does not mature more than thirty years after the issuance of the original refunded debt (old debt) Note Historically 1/3 of refunding debt (new debt) will fail one of the three rules listed above and become subject to the arbitrage rebate regulations. 9

16 YIELD RESTRICTION Rules Established - Yield restriction rules are established as part of the Tax Reform Act of 1969 Established to discourage Issuers from investing either purpose and non-purpose investments in a manner that would create an arbitrage bond Established a list of rules for Issuers to follow that generally complement those created for arbitrage rebate Established exemptions based on temporary periods, materially higher yields and creation of a minor portion 16

22 IRS RECORD RETENTION IRS Section 6001 provides record retention requirements for federal tax purposes. It is important that sufficient records are retained to demonstrate the debt maintain their tax-advantaged status. *Retention ti period is the life of the bond plus three (3) years. **Extended for refunding circumstances as the new retention period for refunded debt is the life of the refunding bond plus three (3) years. 22
23 THIRD TOPICS PRIVATE BUSINESS USE Private business use relates to Section 141 if the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and Treasury Regulations (the Tax Code ). Further Defined - Private business use relates to the identification of proceeds or bond financed property that are to be used for any private business use. The general rule (private business use test) is that if 10% or more of the proceeds of the issue/or bond financed property are used for private business use the issue is a private activity bond. 23
24 WHAT IS PRIVATE BUSINESS USE? Questions to ask yourself as an Issuer 1) Is the facility used in a manner that will benefit a for-profit entity or individual (private business use test)? 2) Is the facility owned or leased to a for-profit entity or individual (private security or payment tests)? 3) Are proceeds used to make or finance loans (private financing test)? 24
25 PRIVATE BUSINESS USE Specific examples of possible private business use according the Tax Code include: Sale of facilities Leases Special legal entitlements such as naming rights Management contracts (Food Vendors) Research agreements 25
26 PRIVATE BUSINESS USE The Tax Code identifies a private activity bond as a bond which meets the following criteria: the private business use test, and the private security or payment test, OR the private loan financing test. Both the reasonable expectations of the issuer on the issuance date and subsequent deliberate actions of the issuer are considered when determining if the private activity bond tests are met. There are three basic remedial action options as generally described below: Redemption or defeasance of nonqualified debt within 90 days Alternative use of disposition proceeds (Difficult) Alternative use of facility (Difficult) 26
27 CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The Official Statement will state the following regarding Continuing i Disclosure: The Issuer will enter into a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking In the last 5 years, the Issuer has complied in all material respects with its previous undertakings under the Rule to provide annual reports and notices of Listed Events Important Acronyms: SEC MSRB EMMA Securities and Exchange Commission Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board Electronic Municipal Market Access 27
28 FOURTH TOPIC IMPLEMENTING POST-ISSUANCE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES? The IRS is currently auditing debt issuers to see if written post-issuance compliance policies and procedures are in place. 28
29 SOME KEY QUESTIONS Entities needs to work with internal and external parties to ensure applicable compliance measures are taken within the District. Key Questions/Ideas: o Do the Policies and Procedures need to be submitted to the Board for approval? o Should the Board receive only a Policy and Procedure Statement which elects the Compliance Officer, in lieu of submittal of the Policies and Procedures? o Who do we contact t for guidance? o Bond Counsel, Financial Advisor, Rebate Consultant and other Districts. 29
30 Any Questions? This presentation provides brief and general information. Post-issuance bond compliance rules are complex and detailed, so it is important to review the specific guidance provided by the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations and Securities and Exchange Commission. 30
