Options when financing PPPs

6 October 2005

Financing alternatives: possibilities

All financing alternatives available in the market have to be considered

5 main financing alternatives:

Private Activity Bonds

Wrapped (by monolines) 144A bonds

Unwrapped bonds

Miniperm bank loan (5-10 years bullet or quasi-bullet)

Long term bank loan (25-30 years sculpted amortizing)

Whenever possible, access to Federal Funding Programs

TIFIA

All these alternatives implies shareholder’ s equity injection

Detailed analysis required on a case by case basis

seeking optimal financing conditions tailored for each project

Financing alternatives: Bank vs Bonds

Main differences between bond and bank alternatives:

Tax-exempt bonds have and additional disadvantage for private developers: not being shareholders, makes not straightforward to them to capture all cash-flows and upsides.

Chicago Skyway case study

6 October 2005

Case study: Chicago Skyway

ChicagoSkyway

First existing toll road privatized in the US

99-yr concession sold for $1.83 bn

7.8 miles in length, 3 lanes in both directions

Connects to Indiana East-West Toll Road and Dan Ryan Expressway

Current tolls $2.5 per car, $1.20 per truck axle – no change since 1993

Mostly cash-only tolling

Average Passenger Vehicles per day: 50,000

6 October 2005

Case study: Chicago Skyway

3 alternatives considered for structuring the financing:

tax-exempt bonds (using a non-profit vehicle),

wrapped bonds and

miniperm bank loan.

Up-front payment finance structured with a 9-year bank loan underwritten by BBVA, Calyon, Depfa and Santander:

Tranche A (acquisition price and transaction costs): $ 1,000 M;

Tranche B (liquidity facility): $ 110 M;

Tranche C (capex) of $ 80 M.

+ $ 882 M Shareholders Equity

Key driver for the bank alternative: payment dateline

easy documentation and no need of rating agencies for the bank loan

Considering the possibility of refinancing the bank loan with a wrapped bond

Will probably allow increased leverage (reducing private equity amount)

6 October 2005

Case study: Chicago Skyway

Refinancing the Bank Loan trough a taxable Bond issue:

Rule 144A/Regulation S and Institutional “Acredited Investors”

Monoline wrapped by FSA

Joint Bookrunners Citigroup and Goldman Sachs

AAA Rating by S&P and Aaa by Moody’s.

US $ 1.4 Bn Bond Issue in the US market:

Serie A, US $ 439 M, 12 years Maturity of Current interest Bonds (Bullet)

Serie B, US $ 961 M, 21 years maturity of Capital Accretion Bonds (capital interest);

Interest Rate fully swapped until maturity

US $ 150M Subordinated Debt. A 30 years maturity loan underwrite by BBVA, CALYON and SCH

With this refinancing the shareholders recover 44% of the initial investment
