• When the loan is due (“term” or “maturity”) Example: 20 years

• What interest rate the borrower will pay Example: 5%

• When the payments will be made Example: Monthly, Semi-annually, annually

• What revenue source will be pledged to make the payments

Common TermsCommon Terms

• Par – 100% of the face value of a security. - A “par bond” is a bond selling at its face value.

• Premium- the amount by which the price paid for a security exceeds par value.

• Discount – the amount by which the price paid for a security is less than par value.

• Maturity date– the date principal is due and payable to bond owner.

• Coupon – now, the term is used as a synonym for the interest rate paid on a security. (Used to be an actual coupon detachable from the physical bond, which was the interest rate on the bond.)

• Yield– generally, references the investor’s rate of return: calculated as “yield to maturity” or “yield to call.”

TaxationTaxation

• “Taxable” – Interest earnings are taxable for federal income tax purposes

• “Tax-Exempt” – Interest earnings are exempt from federal income taxes• Lower Interest Rate – Investors will accept a lower interest

rate than taxable bonds, such as corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury Bonds, because they don’t pay taxes on the interest

• $1.00 (interest) - $.25 (taxes) = $0.75 (tax-exempt)

• Federal tax law limits issuance, investment and use of proceeds of tax-exempt bonds

TPFA Revenue Lease PurchaseTPFA Revenue Lease Purchase

• TPFA issues revenue debt to finance a specifically authorized project or a property acquisition under the Master Lease Program (MLPP).

• TPFA takes title to the financed project and leases it to a client agency.

• The client agency is obligated to make lease payments to TPFA.

• The lease payments are usually from general revenue appropriated to the client agency.

• TPFA uses the lease payments to pay debt service on the bonds or commercial paper.

• Administrative costs assessable to a client agency under MLPP and other related administrative costs, such as property insurance, are also paid by the client agency with general revenue appropriations.

Tax and Revenue Anticipation Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes (TRANs)Notes (TRANs)

• Issued by the CPA, Treasury Operations to address the cash flow mismatch between revenues and expenditures in the general revenue fund

• Repaid by the end of the biennium in which they are used, but are usually repaid by the end of each fiscal year

Debt Issued by UniversitiesDebt Issued by Universities• Revenue Bonds: Universities may issue revenue bonds or notes to

finance permanent improvements for their institution(s), and pledge all system-wide revenue (Revenue Financing System Bonds), except legislative appropriations, to the repayment of the revenue bonds or notes.

• Tuition Revenue Bonds: The Legislature may also authorize “tuition revenue bonds”, usually for specific purposes or projects and appropriate general revenue to offset the institution’s debt service; legislative appropriations made directly for debt service would be unconstitutional.

• PUF/HEAF: The University of Texas and Texas A&M Systems may issue obligations backed by income from the Permanent University Fund (PUF), in accordance with Texas Constitution, Art. VII, §18. Texas’ other institutions may issue Higher Education Assistance Fund (HEAF) bonds, in accordance with Texas Constitution, Art. VII, §17.

Methods of SaleMethods of Sale

Competitive• Straightforward structure

• Well known credit and security pledge

• Size will attract bidders

Negotiated• Complex financial or legal structure

• Market timing important to structure (e.g., refunding)

• Bonds require intensive pre-marketing effort

Page 26: State of Texas Debt – An Overview January 27, 2009 Texas Bond Review BoardTexas Public Finance Authority Bob Kline, Executive Director Judith Porras, Interim

26

CompetitiveCompetitive

• Underwriter determined through competitive bid for the purchase of the bonds, i.e. lowest True Interest Cost

• Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel structure transaction and bond documents

• The bidder (underwriter) determines structure of underwriting syndicate – not the issuer

Page 27: State of Texas Debt – An Overview January 27, 2009 Texas Bond Review BoardTexas Public Finance Authority Bob Kline, Executive Director Judith Porras, Interim

27

NegotiatedNegotiated

• Underwriter usually selected through RFP process

• Underwriter and underwriter’s counsel work with FA and Bond Counsel to structure transaction, prepare offering documents

• Price, interest rates, and other terms of the bonds negotiated with Underwriter on pricing (sale) date

• More flexibility in timing of sale, structure of bonds, and composition of underwriting syndicate

Page 28: State of Texas Debt – An Overview January 27, 2009 Texas Bond Review BoardTexas Public Finance Authority Bob Kline, Executive Director Judith Porras, Interim

Pricing/TradingPricing/Trading• The sale of negotiated bonds is through a “pricing” process.

• Underwriter, FA, and issuer closely check the market; reference MMD, assessing where the bonds are in relation to the MMD scale (ie, the “spread” to MMD). Spread to MMD dictated by credit quality of security.

• Before pricing Underwriter, FA, and issuer review structure and market update, discuss pricing views and agree on a preliminary pricing scale.

• The agreed preliminary scale is sent out to the market (via wire) for a “pricing period,” during which orders are received

• Depending on orders received, the preliminary scale may be revised up or down if necessary.

• At the end of pricing period, the Underwriter makes a formal offer to buy the bonds at specific rates, terms, structure.

• Issuer accepts offer, and Bond Purchase Agreement is signed.

• Trading on secondary market similar: investor/broker assesses credit factors and spread to MMD.

Debt Affordability Study (DAS)Debt Affordability Study (DAS)

• Annual DAS is the responsibility of BRB in coordination with the LBB.

• Purpose is to provide state leadership with metrics to assess the general revenue impact of debt-service requirements for not self-supporting debt over the next 5 years.

• Uses an Excel-based model (Debt Capacity Model) to calculate five key debt ratios to measure the state’s debt capacity.

• Debt capacity is defined as annual debt-service.

• Enables policymakers to run debt-service scenarios to ensure the state’s available revenues are used for the highest priority needs.

• Publication is planned for early February.

Major Swap RisksMajor Swap Risks• Termination Risk – swap could terminate before scheduled

termination date.

• Credit Risk – swap counterparty fails to fulfill its financial obligations.

• Basis Risk – variable-rate payment received doesn’t cover interest payment owed on underlying debt.

• Rollover Risk – underlying variable-rate debt becomes un- hedged if either party terminates the swap.

• Tax Risk – changes in federal or state tax codes.

• Fair Value – sum of net settlement payments based on yield curve; if negative, the issuer pays counterparty

at termination.52
