A Primer on Refunding Transactions Tab B

Structuring Considerations for Refunding Transactions Look for ways to take advantage of the current low interest rate environment and mitigate potential financing risks to the City Create a financing program that will result in the lowest cost of capital available to the City Provide future financing flexibility to the City Provide opportunity to maintain or upgrade credit ratings 13

What is a Refunding Bonds? What is a Refunding Bond? A procedure whereby an issuer refinances outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. Issuers refund bonds generally for the following reasons: o To reduce the issuer s interest costs with lower interest rates o To remove burdensome or restrictive covenants imposed by the terms of the bonds being refinanced. o To restructure the stream of debt service payments to avoid default or an unacceptable tax or rate increase. The proceeds of the new bonds are either deposited in escrow to pay the debt service on the outstanding bonds when due or used to promptly (typically within 90 days) retire the outstanding bonds. Generally, refunded bonds are not considered a part of the issuer s debt because the lien of the holders of the refunded bonds is on the escrowed funds, not on the originally pledged source of revenues. 14

Common Types of Refunding Bonds Current Refunding A financing structure under which old bonds are called or mature within 90 days of the issuance of the new refunding bonds. Advanced Refunding A financing structure under which old bonds are called or mature more than 90 days from the issuance of the new refunding bonds. The proceeds are then invested and placed into an escrow to pay debt service when due. When the older bonds become callable, they are paid off with the invested proceeds. Under IRS rules, bonds issued after 1985 can only be advance refunded once. Forward Refunding An agreement, usually between an issuer and the underwriter, whereby the issuer agrees to issue bonds on a specified future date and an underwriter agrees to purchase such bonds on such date. Typically, a forward refunding is used where the bonds to be refunded are not permitted to be advance refunded on a tax-exempt basis under the Internal Revenue Code. In such a case, the issuer agrees to issue, and the underwriter agrees to purchase, the new issue of bonds on a future date (usually the first date in which the bonds could be currently refunded). Due to the delay in the issuance of the bonds, there is a normally an adjustment to the interest rate charged on these bonds which is based upon the market s future interest rate expectations and the amount of time between the sale and the closing. The advantage of a forward refunding is that an issuer can take advantage of favorable market conditions and lock in refunding savings before the bonds are eligible to be currently refunded. 15

Government Finance Officer s Association ( GFOA ) Recommended Practices Is It Time to Refund the Bonds? One test often used by issuers to assess the appropriateness of a refunding is the requirement specifying the achievement of a minimum net present value (NPV) savings. o Net of all issuance costs and any cash contribution to the refunding, does the refunding provide at least a 3% to 5% present value savings as a percentage of the refunded bonds? o Does the refunding provide a minimum net present value savings in terms of dollars (e.g. $100,000 or $1 million NPV savings). In certain circumstances, lower savings thresholds may be justified. o Refundings done for reasons other than economic savings Restructurings for covenants Cash flow relief o Interest rates are at historically low levels o Future opportunities to achieve greater savings are not likely to occur. 16

When Should an Issuer Refinance Their Bonds? Establish Formal Policy Guidelines First offer a systematic approach for determining if a refunding is cost-effective promote consistency with other financial goals and objectives, provide the justification for decisions on when to undertake a refunding, ensure that staff time is not consumed unnecessarily in evaluating refunding proposals, ensure that some minimum level of cost savings is achieved, and reduce the possibility that further savings could have been achieved by deferring the sale of refunding bonds to a later date. Follow the Formal Policy Guidelines Unless there is a strong conviction that interest rates will be lower in the future or that savings will be greater in the future, the guidelines are there for a reason. 17

Market Conditions and Outlook Tab C

Market Conditions Week of February 6 February 10, 2017 Looking back, given the heavy issuance calendar, municipal bonds posted positive returns for the week but underperformed Treasuries. Uncertainty over President Trump s administration s promise for big league tax reform helped stocks to reach new highs. Economic data released was light for the week. Looking ahead, total volume of municipal bonds is estimated at $5.60 billion, down from the previous week s revised $7.7 billion. The upcoming calendar consists of $4.09 billion in negotiated deals and $1.5 billion in competitive sales. The largest transaction on this week s calendar is the $552 million San Francisco Bay Area Toll Authority toll bridge revenue bonds (comprised of four series A-D ). Notable figures for the upcoming week: U.S. Retail Sales figures, Consumer Price data, and industrial production numbers will be released on Wednesday, February 15. U.S. Housing data will be released on Thursday, February 16. 19

Market Commentary Week of February 6 February 10, 2017 Bond yields jumped around a bit, but ended the week pretty close to where they began. Stocks surged with all three major U.S. indexes reaching record highs Thursday and then again on Friday. This was attributed to a statement by President Trump that a major tax announcement would come in a few weeks. Fed members, uncharacteristically quiet for the past month, weighed in with some important comments last week. Philly Fed President Patrick Harker, a new FOMC voter in 2017, told reporters on Monday that the March FOMC meeting would be live. The headline caused a bit of a stir, but the reality was that Harker simply wanted to emphasize that all meetings should be considered open for discussion. St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Thursday that interest rates could remain low throughout 2017 as there is no clear sense that Trump policies will stoke inflationary pressures. Bullard, currently a non-voting member of the FOMC who is considered an inflation hawk, pointed to fiscal uncertainty and indicated that the Fed will likely hike rates just once this year. Bullard believes the March meeting will not result in any change as fiscal policy discussions are unlikely to be resolved before March 15. As mentioned earlier, there really wasn t much data released last week. One piece worth mentioning is initial jobless claims, which are first-time filings for unemployment benefits. Claims fell 12k to 234k for the week ending February 4, bringing the four-week moving average to 244k, the lowest since June of 1973. This indicates U.S. employers are not laying employees off, suggesting a tight labor market. 23

Market Forecasts From February 3 February 8, 2017, Bloomberg News surveyed approximately 75 of the nation s top economists for their most recent opinions on the U.S. economy and interest rates. The current 10-year Treasury-Note yield is at 2.49% and the forecast for the next 6 quarters is below: Forecast Period February 2017 Difference From Current Yield 1 st Quarter 2017 2.47% -0.02% 2 nd Quarter 2017 2.57% +0.08% 3 rd Quarter 2017 2.67% +0.18% 4 th Quarter 2017 2.76% +0.27% 1 st Quarter 2018 2.84% +0.35% 2 st Quarter 2018 3.00% +0.51% 24

Summary of the Refunding Results Series 2008A City Center Refunding 30

What is Negative Arbitrage? What is Negative Arbitrage in the Escrow Account and How Does It Impact the Refunding Savings? The Series 2008A Bonds are not callable until July 1, 2018. In an Advanced Refunding, the proceeds of the new bonds are deposited into the Escrow Account to pay the debt service on the outstanding Series 2008A bonds when due. The following represents the principal and interest that will need to be provided in the Escrow Account should the Series 2008A Bonds be refunded and closed prior to July 1, 2018: The interest on the refunded bonds is higher than the interest rate that can be obtained on the proceeds that are deposited into the escrow account, which is currently 0.91%. The interest paid on the refunded bonds (6.41% to the July 1, 2018 call date) minus the interest earned on the escrowed funds provided by the refunding bond issue (approximately 0.91%%) equals Negative Arbitrage 31
