Federal Home Loan Banks encourage members to issue Letters of Credit instead of funding conventional mortgage loans

According to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta:

“Two critical challenges facing most financial institutions today are the decline of fee income and the highly competitive lending market. Fee income is being compressed on multiple fronts, hurting revenue growth in an already low-interest-rate environment. Credit card processing fees have fallen and overdraft fees have been slashed through legislation. Additionally, the cut-throat competition for lending has driven down loan origination fees and rates.An FHLBank Atlanta Confirming Letter of Credit can serve as an excellent alternative to facilitating commercial financing deals, reducing costs to borrower and generating valuable fee income from an off balance sheet transaction for the lender. (emphasis added)

Benefits of Confirming letters of Credit vs. Commercial Loans• Reduce customer’s financing costs, strengthening the relationship• Improve marketability of the customer’s bond financing in the capital markets• Generate fee income from the Letter of Credit• Facilitate customer financing without taking interest rate risk

(Letter of Credit is off-balance sheet)• Compete on structure and trusted advisor relationship with customers vs. loan pricing”

Benefits to banks from providing Letters of Credit instead of conventional mortgage loans

Banks benefit from facilitating bond debt in many ways:

• Normal underwriting standards. The refinance is underwritten by a bank just as if it is a conventional mortgage but, instead of funding cash, the bank delivers a Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Borrower to the Trustee for LEDAHF’s public debt.

• Off-balance sheet. The Letter of Credit is an off-balance sheet item with much lower cost to the bank.

• More profitable and longer duration. The bank is paid a fee for the initial term of the Letter of Credit, and an annual renewal fee thereafter (for up to 30 years).

• Less risk. Because the debt service is so greatly reduced, the bank is in a much more secure position with a far greater debt service coverage ratio than if a conventional mortgage loan. In cases when there is insufficient cash flow for debt service, a LEDAHF will concurrently fund the acquisition of a Stabilized Income Property with sufficient cash flow to provide adequate debt service coverage.

Page 4: Benefits to Borrower from a FHLB-wrapped Bond instead of a ...ledahf.org/images/LEDAHF_VRDN.pdf · Benefits to Borrower from a FHLB-wrapped Bond. instead of a conventional mortgage

The Income Property Substantially Reduces Risk

The only risk to the Letter of Credit is if the bond debt is not paid when due.

A “lock-box” or other arrangement can be established with the Trustee to assure that cash flow from the collateral asset (NOI or dividends) is used to pay the bond debt.

Because of the reduced interest cost, the stabilized income from refinanced income properties can generate sufficient cash flow (2-5x debt service) to assures the bond debt is always paid.

The remaining income is available to the Owner.

Letter of Credit Substitutionor Credit Enhancement, as needed

The Letter of Credit must be “investment-grade” to get a very low interest rate• LEDAHF issues corporate debt (bond financing) in the public capital markets in the form of a

multi-modal Variable Rate Demand Note [“VRDN”] which is guaranteed by the Letter of Credit. Because this debt is guaranteed by a bank Letter of Credit, it is exempt from many burdensome securities requirements and carries the credit rating of the guarantee bank.

• The Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Borrower that is issued to guarantee the bond must be investment grade to warrant a very low interest rate on the bond.

• If a bank does not want to renew a Letter of Credit, or if the credit rating of the guarantee bank is downgraded, the Borrower may substitute a Letter of Credit from a different bank having an acceptable credit rating.

• For FHLB-member banks and qualifying properties, the credit rating of a Letter of Credit may be enhanced by a Federal Home Loan Bank confirming letter of credit [a “wrap” ] resulting in Institutional Investment Grade (i.e. S&P AA+).

How does the program work?

A bank opens a Letter of Credit for Borrower, secured by Borrower’s asset(s), in the name of LEDAHF and delivers the Letter of Credit (in escrow) to a designated Trustee (BNY Mellon, US Bank, RegionsBank, etc.)

Standby LCs to Secure Public Unit Deposits

Your municipal clients provide a valuable deposit busi-ness. To retain your securities for liquidity and otherpurposes and to attract public unit deposits that exceedthe amount covered by FDIC insurance, you can use alow-cost FHLBC standby LC for public unit deposits(PUD LC) to collateralize a public entity’s deposits.

For public unit deposit accounts that frequently fluctu-ate, members can now request the Fluctuating BalancePUD LC for amounts of $10 million or more. TheFHLBC can issue Fluctuating Balance PUD LCs for the benefit of a single public unit depositor or to athird-party trustee as beneficiary for multiple publicunit depositors. Alternatively, the FHLBC can issuePUD LCs for one-month terms to manage fluctuations.

The PUD LC is acceptable collateral under both Illinoisand Wisconsin law, although the depositor’s legal counselmust confirm eligibility. The FHLBC’s Law Departmenthas produced a short document called “InformationRegarding Using FHLBC Letters of Credit to Back PublicUnit Deposits” that members can share with their depos-itors’ legal counsel to make understanding and execut-ing an LC as easy as possible.

Members can use a standby LC to collateralize depositsfrom many public entities, including:

• Local government: city, county, township;

• State government and state agencies;

• Transportation authorities;

• Housing authorities;

• Water reclamation districts; and

• Public school districts and community colleges.

Benefits to the Public EntityThe benefits of a PUD LC from the Federal HomeLoan Bank of Chicago to a public agency include:

• Immediate payout. In the unlikely event of a default, the FHLBC pays out under the LCimmediately; there is no delay with selling securities in the market to make payment.

• Convenient. The FHLBC can issue a standardPUD LC within 24 hours and, in many circum-stances, within several hours.

• Secure and irrevocable. The LC carries theFHLBC’s Aaa/AA+ rating.

Have a great week!

Tom, Amber and Michael

The stock market continues its love affair with the new Republican administration and the bond market feels like the guy that got dumped at Christmas time. Tax Free Bond Funds lost another $2.2 billion and the 4 week net asset moving average is a negative $2.4 billion. Tax Free Money Funds received in $870.90 million and total assets have grown to $130.96 billion over the last month. The Federal Reserve meets this week and is highly expected to raise the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points to .75%. Bad news for the issuers and good news for the investors. SIFMA went from .56% to .57% and has performed rather well considering the technical factors of the market. 1MM LIBOR is now at .695% and will continue to trek higher during the week in anticipation of the Fed’s announcement. SIFMA will follow the lead of 1M LIBOR but at a slower pace. The bond markets will be most interested in the Fed’s 2017 interest rate outlook and have put the anticipated rate hike this week in the review mirror.
