EXHIBIT A
The following information was obtained from KNN Public Finance, LLC, as municipal advisor (“Municipal Advisor”) with respect to the 2024 Electric Bonds approved in the Resolution, and is provided in compliance with California Government Code Section 5852.1 with respect to the 2024 Electric Bonds:
1. True Interest Cos t of the 2024 Electric Bonds. Assuming an aggregate principal amount of $46,460,000 of the 2024 Electric Bonds are sold and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the 2024 Electric B onds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the 2024 Electric Bonds, is 3.16%.
2. Finance Charge of the 2024 Electric Bonds. Assuming an agg regate principal amount of $46,460,000 of the 2024 Electric Bonds are sold and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the finance charge of the 2024 Electric Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (or costs associated with the 2024 Electric Bonds), is $436,058.
3. Amount of Proceeds to be Received. Assuming an aggregate principal amount of $46,460,000 of the 2024 Electric Bonds are sold and based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the City for sale of the 2024 Electric Bonds less the finance charge of the 2024 Electric Bonds des cribed in 2 above and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the 2024 Electric Bonds, is $50,701,454.
4. Total Payment Amount. Assuming an aggregate principal amount of $46,460,000 of the 2024 Electric Bonds are sold and bas ed on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the City will make to pay debt service on the 2024 Electric Bonds plus the f inance charge of the 2024 Electric Bonds described in paragraph 2 above not paid with the proceeds of the 2024 Electric Bonds, calculated to the final maturity of the 2024 Electric Bonds, is $68,235,464.
Attention is directed to the fact that the foregoing information constitutes good faith estimates only. The actual interest cost, finance charges, amount of proceeds and total payment amount may vary from the estimates above due to variations from these estimates in the timing of 2024 Electric Bonds sales, the amount of 2024 Electric Bonds sold, the amortization of the 2024 Electric Bonds sold and market conditions at the time of each sale. The date of sale and the amount of 2024 Electric Bonds sold will be determined by the City based on the need for project funds, need for funds to refund any prior obligations and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the 2024 Electric Bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of each sale. The actual amortization of the 2024 Electric Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale. Market conditions, including interest rates, are affected by economic and other factors beyond the City’s, the Underwriters’, and Municipal Advisor’s control.
