22 2001B Swaption Background 2001B COPs refinanced the Series 2000A COPs In 2005, interest rates were low enough to refinance the 2001B COPs for savings, but tax law does not allow a second advance refunding The first refunding date permitted is August 1, 2011 So, The District entered into a swaption to trigger the refunding in August of 2011 and received $6,250,000 in 2005 Assumptions: Total Costs of Issuance including insurance - $909, Liquidity 15bps & Remarketing 8bps Current Situation Current Costs of Issuance - $700, (no insurance - AMBAC) Liquidity 70 bps & Remarketing 10 bps Net increase in ongoing cost of 57bps (0.57%) per year 22

23 2001B Swaption: Approach to Managing the Exercise this Fall The swap counter-party has the option to start the swap on August 1, 2011 $30.00 Swap Mark to Market Over Time Given the change in market factors (higher liquidity costs), the District is developing options to minimize the cost or enhance the expected savings Can the District i t make the Swaption go away? Yes, the District has the option to terminate the swap at any time. But the District would have to pay the market price Millions $25.00 $20.00 $15.00 $10.00 $5.00 $0.00 8/16/2005 8/16/2006 8/16/2007 8/16/2008 8/16/2009 8/16/ B Mark to Market SIFMA Swap RatesSince 2005 Swaps have a market price referred to as the Mark to Market value.
