2 NW FINANCIAL GROUP, LLC Exceeding Expectations MEMORANDUM To: Board of School Directors Robert O Donnell Randy Brown Donna Watson From: Tom Beckett, NW Financial Group, LLC. Date: January 5, 2017 Re: Financing Update Happy New Year! This memo will provide an updates on recent interest rate movements and cost of a financing based on current market conditions. We also lay out a potential schedule for an early 2017 financing under the parameters resolution you passed in December. If you ll recall, our strategy for High School completion financing is to be ready to issue in the event that: 1. Rates decline from their late 2016 highs during the first quarter of We can achieve a sub 4% NIC in the next 9 months. 3. The post-election increase in long term rates continues in January (when we typically have a rally in bond prices) eroding the benefit of delaying issuance. Current Market Conditions The post-election spike in interest rates has moderated over the end of December. This is due to lower volume of new issues, post-fed rate hike rally and a typical calming of the market over year end. The Bond Buyer 11 Bond Index has rallied since early December resulting in a decrease of approximately 20 basis points.

3 Current Numbers We requested that Bank of America Merrill Lynch provide us with an interest rate scale for the proposed issue. The scale was consistent with the District s past rate performance in terms of spread to the Municipal Market Data AAA interest rate scale ( MMD ). It was also consistent with NW s estimates of the market for a $46 million General Obligation issue carrying ratings of Aa1 and AA from Moody s and Standard & Poor s respectively. BAML indicated that using two ratings would potentially result in a 5 basis point savings over rates achieved with only a single rating. That rate savings more than makes up for the incremental cost of a second rating. The table below summarizes some of the results of a hypothetical issuance using rates as of 12/26/16. The full financial analysis is contained in Exhibit A. Scenario Amount Term Interest Cost To Term NIC First Year Interest Cost PV 01 Basis Points "Wrapped" $ 46,655, $ 36,965, % $ 2,212,375 $ 38, Possible Schedule We ve prepared a schedule for issuance that will have us ready to execute a bond purchase agreement with the Underwriters in early February. The full schedule is shown in Exhibit B. Conclusions The strategy is to be ready to enter the market in January. If current conditions were to hold, the District would issue debt in the 4% range. The incremental interest expense of issuing in debt in 2017 versus waiting until 2018 translates into 57 basis points of yield. That cost can be considered the expense of hedging your rate risk and protects you against the potential that rates would be in the 4.50% or higher range one year from now.
