REPORT TO AUDIT COMMITTEE

SUBJECT
Overview of Santa Clara Stadium Authority Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Financial Statements and Audit Results Presentation by KPMG, LLP

BACKGROUND
The Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority), the Stadium Funding Trust, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA entered into a Credit Agreement on June 19, 2013. Section 5.1(a) of the Credit Agreement requires that the Stadium Authority Annual Financial Statements be audited by independent certified public accountants within 180 days after the end of each fiscal year. On June 25, 2021, the Stadium Authority entered into a professional services agreement with KPMG, LLP (KPMG) to perform the annual financial audit of the Stadium Authority’s Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Financial Statements.

The Annual Financial Statements include: (1) the Independent Auditors’ Report which describes the auditors’ responsibility and their opinion of the Financial Statements, (2) Management’s Discussion and Analysis which provides an overall review of the Stadium Authority’s financial activities, (3) the Basic Financial Statements, and (4) the Notes to the Financial Statements which have additional information pertaining to the Stadium Authority’s operations and financial position.

The Financial Statements being discussed with this report cover the Stadium Authority’s 2024/25 fiscal year, which runs from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.

DISCUSSION
The role of the audit committee is to provide oversight of the Stadium Authority’s financial reporting processes, internal controls, and independent auditors. KPMG will present the Stadium Authority audit results to the audit committee to provide a brief overview of the audit. This includes their audit report, financial statement disclosures, internal control related matters, and other items.

Stadium Authority staff will be providing an overview of the Stadium Authority Fiscal Year 2024/25 Annual Financial Statements including year-over-year comparison of the Stadium Authority financial position.

Jaime Cavin, Managing Director, and Ryan Ficker, Manager, from KPMG will be presenting the Stadium Authority Audit Results.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environment Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(a)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a City of Santa Clara Printed on 9/19/2025Page 1 of 2

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 The management’s discussion and analysis of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority) provides an overall review of the Stadium Authority’s financial activities for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the Stadium Authority’s financial performance as a whole. Readers should review the discussion and analysis in conjunction with the basic financial statements, including the notes to the basic financial statements to enhance their understanding of the Stadium Authority’s financial performance.

The Stadium Authority has elected to provide comparative financial statements to better assist the reader. The Stadium Authority’s fiscal year runs from April 1 through March 31 to conform to the fiscal year of the Stadium Funding Trust (FinanceCo). The Stadium Authority is a component unit of the City of Santa Clara, California (City) whose fiscal year is July 1 through June 30.

The Stadium Authority exists as a public body, separate and distinct from the City. It was established to provide for development and operation of Levi’s Stadium.

Financial Highlights
Key financial highlights for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 are as follows:
 The carrying value of Levi’s Stadium, net of depreciation, is $653.9 million.  During the fiscal year, there were ten National Football League (NFL) games, eight large-scale ticketed Non-NFL events, and sixty-seven smaller special events held at Levi’s Stadium.  The Stadium Authority recognized $83.3 million in operating revenue and $62.0 million in operating expenses.
 The revenues from the Non-NFL events were $23.8 million and the related expenses were $13.6 million resulting in net Non-NFL event revenue of $10.2 million.  Debt service payments during the fiscal year totaled $20.3 million. Overall remaining outstanding debt was reduced by $9.1 million.
 The assets of the Stadium Authority exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $179.2 million, an increase of $25.6 million during the fiscal year, from the operation of Levi’s Stadium.  The City received $1.0 million for stadium ground rent and 4.6 million for performance based rent.

Additionally, the City is required to be fully reimbursed for all of its administration and public safety costs by either the Stadium Authority for Non-NFL events or Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo) for NFL events.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements and the notes to those statements. These statements are organized so the reader can understand the Stadium Authority as a financial whole. The basic financial statements provide both a short-term and long-term view of the Stadium Authority’s financial activities and financial position.

The basic financial statements comprise the statements of net position, the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, the statements of cash flows, and the notes to the financial statements.

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Analysis
Capital assets decreased when compared to the prior year by $11.6 million due to annual depreciation, partially offset by equipment and buildings additions. Other assets decreased when compared to the prior year by $6.5 million. This was due to the decrease in the long-term lease receivable that was paid by StadCo offset by an increase in accounts receivable from higher net Non-NFL event revenue. Liabilities decreased by $26.7 million compared to the prior year. This is primarily due to the paydown of the Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance (note 7), payment of performance-based rent payable to the City (note 6), principal payment of long-term debt (note 5) and decrease in unearned Stadium Builder License (SBL) revenue. Total net position for the Stadium Authority, as a whole, increased between March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 to $179.2 million. This increase in net position of $25.6 million is described below, with asset and liability changes being primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and long-term liabilities.

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 Fiscal Year 2023-24 Analysis
Capital assets decreased when compared to the prior year by $10.5 million due to annual depreciation, partially offset by equipment and building additions. Other assets increased when compared to the prior year by $10.1 million. This was due to increases in cash deposits from excess revenue distributions at year-end and naming rights accounts receivable resulting from a naming rights agreement extension offset by a reduction in lease receivables. Liabilities increased by $4.4 million compared to the prior year. This is primarily due to the recognition of public safety costs over threshold (note 7) and performance-base rent (note 6), partially offset by decreases in long-term debt (note 5) and unearned SBL revenue. Total net position for the Stadium Authority increased between March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 to $153.6 million. This increase in net position of $12.2 million is described below, with asset and liability changes being primarily due to a decrease in long-term liabilities and deferred inflows of lease resources.

The Stadium Authority’s revenues, expenses, and changes in net position for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023 are as follows:

Fiscal Year 2024-25 Analysis
Stadium Authority operating revenues increased by $1.4 million when compared with the prior year. This was mainly due to increases in revenue from ticketed Non-NFL events, rents and licenses and NFL ticket surcharge. The operating expenses decreased by $17.6 million compared to the prior year. This decrease is primarily due to lower Stadium Manger expenses, Non-NFL events expenses and public safety costs over threshold (note 7). The Stadium Authority recognized non-recurring expenses for buffet costs and public safety costs over threshold in fiscal year 2023-24 as a part of the 2024 Settlement Agreement (note 7).

Nonoperating revenues increased by $181 thousand mainly due to an increase in bank interest revenue offset by a decrease in interest income from SBLs. Nonoperating expenses increased by $5.7 million due to the DRAFT

Contributions and other revenues were $3.4 million, a decrease of $59 thousand from the prior fiscal year.

These represent special hotel tax revenues collected to pay the CFD Advance Loan.

Fiscal Year 2023-24 Analysis
Stadium Authority operating revenues increased by $9.0 million when compared with the prior year. This was mainly due to increases in revenue from ticketed Non-NFL events, rents and licenses and NFL ticket surcharge. The operating expenses increased by $31.6 million compared to the prior year. This increase is primarily due to the 2024 Settlement Agreement, which resulted in an increase in buffet costs, performance-based rent and public safety costs over threshold (note 7). Non-NFL event expenses also increased due to larger ticketed Non-NFL events.

Nonoperating revenues increased by $44 thousand mainly due to an increase in interest revenue offset by a decrease in miscellaneous other revenue. Nonoperating expenses decreased by $1.9 due to a decrease in interest expense resulting from lower debt balances.

Contributions and other revenues were $3.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million over the prior fiscal year. These represent special hotel tax revenues collected to pay the CFD Advance Loan.

Capital Assets
The capital assets of the Stadium Authority are those which are used in the performance of the Stadium Authority’s functions, including but not limited to infrastructure-related assets. These assets do not include StadCo’s tenant improvements. At March 31, 2025, capital assets totaled $667.0 million.

Further detail may be found in note 4 to the financial statements.

Debt Administration
At March 31, 2025, the Stadium Authority had total debt outstanding of $219.6 million, as shown in detail in note 5 to the financial statements. Stadium Authority’s debt comprised Stadium Funding Trust Term A loan of $192.7 million and the CFD Advance Loan of $27.0 million.

7 DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 Economic and Financial Overview
There is some uncertainty related to trade tariffs, fiscal policy, and geopolitical risk with the new administration, however, the local economy currently shows positive signs. Unemployment rates are low and property values in Santa Clara remain high. There continues to be commercial and residential development, including several projects in the vicinity of Levi’s Stadium. The past few years have also seen increases in hotel nights and rates resulting in increases to Community Facilities District (CFD) taxes that flow to the Stadium Authority to pay down debt. Major financial factors impacting the Stadium Authority are:
 In May 2013, a Naming Rights Agreement with Levi Strauss & Co. (Levi’s) was approved naming the Stadium “Levi’s Stadium” for a term of 20 years. In January 2024, the First Amendment to Naming Rights Agreement with Levi’s was approved extending the initial term an additional 10 years. The naming rights agreement and its first amendment calls for Levi’s to pay a total of $273.1 million to the Stadium Authority over the 30-year period. The agreement requires the Stadium Authority to hold at least 36 “Major Events” (with 25,000+ attendees) every three contract years. The Second Amendment to the Stadium Management Agreement states that Forty Niners Stadium Management Company, LLC (ManagementCo) would pay the Stadium Authority as liquidated damages the amount owed by the Stadium Authority to Levi’s in the event the required number of events is not met. As of March 31, 2025, the Stadium Authority has received $77.5 million in naming rights revenue.
 Stadium Builders Licenses (SBLs) entitle the license holder to priority rights to buy tickets for events at Levi’s Stadium. The total value of the currently active SBL holders’ licenses is $562.2 million. Through March 31, 2025, $566.4 million in SBL principal payments have been collected since inception. This is due in part to a number of SBL holders paying off or prepaying a large portion of their SBL, and defaulted SBLs being resold at full price. In addition to SBL collections, the Stadium Authority has collected $71.1 million in interest from license holders who financed their SBLs since inception.  The Stadium Authority collected $24.8 million in lease revenue during the NFL season and $10.2 million net revenue associated with hosting Non-NFL events for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.  The Stadium Authority collects a 10% surcharge on the price of admission to all regular season NFL games and a $4 per ticket surcharge for all ticketed Non-NFL events. For any ticketed Non-NFL event that was booked after May 28, 2024, the date of the 2024 Settlement Agreement, the ticket surcharge will be a minimum of $8 per ticket. There were ten regular season NFL games held at Levi’s Stadium during fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, which resulted in $14.6 million in NFL ticket surcharge revenues. The Stadium Authority also recognized $1.4 million in Non-NFL event ticket surcharge revenues from the eight large-scale ticketed events held at the Stadium. All eight large-scale events incurred the $4 per ticket surcharge.

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 (1) Organization and Reporting Entity
(a) Organization
On June 8, 2010, residents of Santa Clara voted to adopt Measure J, the Santa Clara Stadium Taxpayer Protection and Economic Progress Act, resulting in the approval to construct a new 68,500-seat football stadium (the Stadium) to be leased to the San Francisco 49ers (49ers). In addition, Measure J called for the creation of the Santa Clara Stadium Authority to own, develop, construct, operate, and maintain the Stadium project. The City of Santa Clara, California (City) and the City of Santa Clara Redevelopment Agency (Agency) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JPA Agreement) establishing the Santa Clara Stadium Authority (Stadium Authority). The JPA Agreement was later amended to add the Bayshore North Project Enhancement Authority as a member of the Stadium Authority. On June 28, 2011, the Governor signed into law Assembly Bill No. X1 26 (ABX1 26), which called for the dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies throughout the State. The California State Supreme Court upheld ABX1 26, and as a result, on February 1, 2012, all California Redevelopment Agencies were dissolved. The Successor Agency of the City of Santa Clara (Successor Agency) then assumed the obligations of the Agency under the JPA Agreement. (b) Financial Reporting Entity
As defined by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the financial reporting entity consists of a primary government, as well as its component units, which are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable.

Financial accountability is defined as:
1) Appointment of a voting majority of the component unit’s board and either (a) the ability to impose will by the primary government or (b) the possibility that the component unit will provide a financial benefit to or impose a financial burden on the primary government; or 2) Fiscal dependency on the primary government.

Based upon the application of these criteria, the Stadium Authority has no component units. However, the Stadium Authority is a component unit of the City due to the Mayor and City Council serving as the Board of the Stadium Authority and therefore meeting the financial accountability criteria. The City Manager serves as the Executive Director. The debt which was incurred for the construction of the Stadium is the responsibility of the Stadium Authority. The City is not a party to the debt nor has the City guaranteed such debt.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Stadium Authority have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing government accounting and financial reporting principles. The Stadium Authority is included as an enterprise fund in the City’s Annual Financial Report, and therefore, these financial statements do not purport to represent the financial position and changes in financial position of the City.

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 (b) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The Stadium Authority reports its activities as a business -type activity. The financial statements include statements of net position, statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position, and statements of cash flows, and are accounted for using the “economic resources” measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) are included on the statements of net position. Reported net position is segregated into three categories – net investment in capital assets, restricted, and unrestricted. The statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned while expenses are recognized in the period in which a liability is incurred.

Operating revenues are those revenues that are generated from the primary operations of the Stadium Authority. All other revenues are reported as nonoperating. Operating expenses are those expenses that are essential to the primary operations of the fund. All other expenses are reported as nonoperating expenses.
(c) Year-End
An amendment was made to the JPA Agreement on November 13, 2012 in part to change the fiscal year of the Stadium Authority from a July 1 through June 30 fiscal year to an April 1 through March 31 fiscal year to conform with the fiscal year of Stadium Funding Trust. (d) Cash, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash with Fiscal Agent The Stadium Authority’s cash is not pooled with the City but is held in separate bank and trust accounts.
(i) Composition of Cash, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash with Fiscal Agent Cash, restricted cash, and restricted cash with fiscal agent at March 31, 2025 and 2024 consist of cash deposits in banks.

Restricted cash includes revenue that has not yet been transferred to Stadium Funding Trust accounts. On the fifteenth of the following month, all revenue is swept into the Stadium Funding Trust accounts as required by the Deposit and Disbursement Agreement and becomes restricted cash with fiscal agent. It also includes cash dedicated to construction and the capital expenditure, operating, and renovation/demolition reserve accounts.

Restricted cash with fiscal agent consists of stadium deposits pledged to a syndicate of lenders.

The application of these deposits is restricted to Stadium Authority operations and debt service. (ii) Reserves Authorized by Debt Agreements
Stadium Authority maintains required amount of cash and investments with trustees or fiscal agents under the terms of certain debt issues. These funds are unexpended bond proceeds or are pledged reserves to be used if Stadium Authority fails to meet its obligations under these debt issues. The California Government Code 53601 (L) allows these funds to be invested in DRAFT

(iii) Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. Under California Government Code Section 53651, depending on specific types of eligible securities, a bank must deposit eligible securities posted as collateral with its agent having a fair value of 105% to 150% of the Stadium Authority’s cash on deposit. All of the deposits are either insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or collateralized with pledged securities held in the trust department of the financial institutions.
(e) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded in the Stadium Authority’s accounts at the amounts that are contractually due. Accounts receivable include payments due from ManagementCo as a result of the operations of non-National Football League (NFL) events held at the Stadium and the overpayment of stadium manager expenses. Naming Rights revenue due from Levi’s Strauss & Co., special tax proceeds collected by the Community Facilities District (CFD) and not yet paid to Stadium Authority pursuant to the CFD Reimbursement Agreement, and other miscellaneous receivables are also included as accounts receivable in the statements of net position. (f) Capital Assets
Capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Contributed capital assets are valued at their estimated fair value on the date contributed.

Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets with a value over $10,000 and is charged as an expense against operations.

Useful lives
(years)
Buildings 20–50
Machinery and equipment 2–25

The cost of maintenance, repairs, minor replacements, and renewals are charged to operations as incurred. Major replacements, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. Sales and retirements of depreciable property are recorded by removing the related cost and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses on sales and retirements of property are reflected in the statements of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position.

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 (g) Unearned Revenue and Revenue Recognition
Stadium Builder License (SBL) proceeds and payments received for other license agreements are initially recorded as unearned revenue and are recognized as revenue over the term of the contracts.

SBL defaults are recognized in the year earned. Rental income is recognized as revenue based on GASB 87 over the term of the Stadium Lease (note 2(k)).

Non-NFL event revenue, NFL ticket surcharge, Non-NFL ticket surcharge, and other operating revenues are recognized as they are earned.
(h) Risk Management
Per the terms of the Stadium Lease, during operations, the Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo) procures insurance and the Stadium Authority pays a proportionate share to StadCo. (i) Income Taxes
The Stadium Authority falls under the purview of Internal Revenue Code, Section 115 and corresponding California Revenue and Taxation Code provisions. As such, the Stadium Authority is not subject to federal or state income taxes.
(j) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(k) Lease Agreements
GASB 87, Leases, requires a lessee to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources, for all leases.

Lessee – The Stadium Authority is a lessee for a noncancelable ground lease. The Stadium Authority recognizes any lease liability with an initial and individual value of $100,000, and an intangible right ‐to‐ use leased asset (lease asset) in the statements of net position.

At the commencement of a lease, the Stadium Authority initially measures the lease liability at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.

DRAFT 9/19/2025 10:34 AM 2024-25 SantaClaraStadiumAuthority FS v20 Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the Stadium Authority determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments as follows:
 The Stadium Authority uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the Stadium Authority generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The Stadium Authority used a

2.18% discount rate for the expected lease payments to present value.  The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease and options to extend that it is reasonably certain to exercise. The Stadium Authority has included the exercise of one of the four-year renewal options due to the time it would take and the complexity of negotiating new lease terms with lessor.
 Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price that the Stadium Authority is reasonably certain to exercise.

The Stadium Authority monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability. The Stadium Authority has the Ground Lease with the City (note 6). As of March 31, 2025, the balances related to the lease liability and right-to-use were $29.3 million and $26.3 million respectively. The lease has remaining terms of 34 years as of April 1, 2024. For both years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Stadium Authority recognized $798 thousand in lease amortization expense and $648 thousand in interest expense related to this lease.

Lessor – The Stadium Authority is a lessor for noncancelable leases of land and building. The Stadium Authority recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the financial statements.

At the commencement of a lease, the Stadium Authority initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term.

Key estimates and judgments include how the Stadium Authority determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and (3) lease receipts as follows:
 The Stadium Authority uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. The Stadium Authority used a 2.18% discount rate for the expected lease payments to present value.
 The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease and options to extend it believes the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. The Stadium Authority has included the exercise of one of the four-year renewal options due to the time it would take and the complexity of negotiating new lease terms with lessee.
 Lease receipts included in the measurement of the lease receivable comprises fixed payments from the lessee.

(3) Stadium Development
(a) Transaction Overview
During fiscal year 2011-12, the Stadium Authority and StadCo entered into a series of agreements in connection with the construction of the Stadium. The Stadium was constructed and is owned by the Stadium Authority; certain tenant improvement components are owned by StadCo. Construction on the Stadium began in April 2012 and it was substantially completed in July 2014, in time for the 2014 NFL season.

The City owns the land on which the Stadium was constructed. The City has leased the land to the Stadium Authority under a ground lease, and the Stadium Authority has leased the Stadium to StadCo for the six-month period from August through January (the NFL season) of each year, for an initial lease term of 40 years. The Stadium Lease commenced in August 2014 upon substantial completion of construction.

The Stadium Authority and StadCo have engaged ManagementCo, an affiliate of StadCo, to manage the Stadium on a year-round basis. The Stadium Management Agreement has an initial term of 25 years, plus a 15-year renewal option. The Stadium Authority pays ManagementCo for services related to its operations on behalf of the Stadium Authority. For the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, ManagementCo charged the Stadium Authority $7.7 million and $8.6 million in shared expenses, and $9.4 million and $8.5 million in other operating and management expenses, respectively. (b) Construction Funding
Funding for construction of the Stadium, excluding tenant improvements funded by StadCo, falls into three major categories: an initial construction loan from a bank syndicate, which was refinanced during 2013 as described below; funding from the StadCo Subordinated Loan; and construction period and other revenues.
(i) Stadium Construction Loan Facility
The initial financing included a delayed draw term loan facility (the Construction Facility) provided by a syndicate of banks (the Lenders) to Stadium Funding Trust (FinanceCo). FinanceCo, a Delaware statutory trust, entered into the Construction Facility with the Lenders and then issued a loan facility to the Stadium Authority in the amount of $450 million (the Authority Loan). The Construction Facility had a maturity date of September 1, 2015. In June 2013, FinanceCo and the Stadium Authority refinanced the Construction Facility, resulting in FinanceCo paying off the Construction Facility and entering into a new debt structure that includes 26-year fixed rate notes and a delayed draw 5-year loan facility. FinanceCo then issued a new loan facility to the Stadium Authority in the amount of $450 million. The Stadium Authority’s loan facilities are discussed in note 5.

In March 2012, StadCo agreed to loan the Stadium Authority up to $500 million (the Subloan) to be used for the construction of Levi’s Stadium. During the refinance process in June 2013, the interest rate on the Subloan was fixed and part of the then outstanding Subloan was paid down. The Subloan is discussed in note 5.
(iii) Construction Period and Other Revenues
Certain revenues were collected by the Stadium Authority while the Stadium was under construction. These construction period and other revenues primarily consist of SBL and naming rights revenues collected by the Stadium Authority.

On February 28, 2012, the Stadium Authority entered into a lease (the Ground Lease) with the City whereby the City leases the Stadium site to the Stadium Authority. The Ground Lease was amended on June 19, 2013. On May 28, 2024, the Second Amendment to the Ground Lease was executed to implement the terms of the 2024 Settlement Agreement (note 7).

The Ground Lease has an initial term of 40 years. The first lease year commenced on the first day following the substantial completion of construction (August 1, 2014) and ended on the next following March 31. The subsequent lease years will start on April 1 and end on the following March 31. The Stadium Authority will have five successive extension options, each four years in duration, which would commence following the initial term expiration date.

The Ground Lease provides that the City will receive a fixed ground rent (Fixed Ground Rent) of $180 thousand for the first year of Stadium operations payable by the Stadium Authority. Beginning in the second year of Stadium operations and annually thereafter through the tenth year of Stadium operations, the Fixed Ground Rent will increase annually by $35 thousand. Beginning in the 11th year of Stadium operations, Fixed Ground Rent will be increased to equal $1 million, and thereafter will be increased by $100 thousand every five years through the end of the initial term of the Ground Lease.

On May 23, 2024, the Stadium Authority, the City, StadCo, and ManagementCo entered into the 2024 Settlement Agreement that resolved pending arbitration and disputes regarding the reimbursement of expenses for complementary buffets provided to certain SBL holders, the NFL public safety cost threshold and related claims, as well as other miscellaneous terms and matters. The 2024 Settlement Agreement provided for amendments to the Ground Lease (Second Amendment) and the Stadium Lease (First Amendment), which were effective as of May 28, 2024. As part of the buffet costs settlement, StadCo’s claims against the Stadium Authority for unpaid buffet costs reimbursements for fiscal years 2014-15 through 2023-24 were resolved and deemed satisfied, and ManagementCo.’s previous (and disputed) draw under the Revolving Credit Agreement to reimburse StadCo for $902 thousand for buffet costs in fiscal year 2022-21 was deemed a timely payment by Stadium Authority.

The 2024 Settlement Agreement also provided a new $90 thousand buffet reimbursement fee per NFL Game owed by Stadium Authority to StadCo, starting in fiscal year 2024-25, with the fee increasing each year by 3%. As part of the public safety costs settlement, the $14.8 million of public safety costs over the threshold for fiscal year 2017-18 through fiscal year 2023-24 owed by Stadium Authority to StadCo was agreed to not be treated as Credited Public Safety Costs and therefore those credits would not affect the calculation of Performance Based Rent. This cost due to StadCo has been redefined as Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance, which would be paid from a legal contingency reserve and future excess revenues until paid off. In fiscal year 2024–25, the Stadium Authority made a payment of $3.3 million from a legal contingency reserve and a payment of $6.2 DRAFT

The 2024 Settlement Agreement also allows for the payment of the Performance Based Rent from the Stadium Authority to the City in the amount of $7.3 million for fiscal years 2022-23 and 2023-24. (c) Public Safety Costs Over Threshold
Pursuant to the May 2024 Settlement Agreement, on May 28, 2024, the Stadium Authority entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement with the Forty Niners SC Stadium Company LLC (StadCo). Under that amendment agreement, reimbursements for Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance will be partially paid using Litigation Contingency Reserves, with the remainder to be paid through excess revenues. As of March 31, 2025, the Stadium Authority has $5.3 million outstanding in the Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance included within accounts payable.

In addition, the annual NFL Public Safety Cost Threshold was increased to $360 thousand per game for lease year ending March 31, 2025, with a 4% escalator applied for each subsequent year. The amendment agreement also provided for a new Public Safety Costs Expenditures reserve account, funded in part by increases of Non-NFL Ticket Surcharges. To the extent that public safety costs for NFL events exceed the public safety cost threshold, StadCo will be reimbursed by the Stadium Authority through payments from the Stadium Authority’s Discretionary Fund or the Public Safety Cost Reserve. For fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the Stadium Authority paid $2.5 million to StadCo for public safety costs over threshold.

Pursuant to the May 2024 Settlement Agreement and the related First Amendment to Amended and Restated Stadium Lease Agreement, the use of excess revenues was restructured to facilitate the reimbursement of the Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance to StadCo and to allow for funds to be distributed to the City’s general fund. The flow of excess revenue was restructured such that, in the event the Renovation and Demolition Reserve is less than $70 million, the Stadium Authority will deposit up to 50% of available excess revenues in the Renovation and Demolition Reserve, up to 50% of available excess revenues to repay to StadCo the Public Safety Costs 2024 Outstanding Balance, and any remaining excess revenues to be treated additional disbursements, such as distribution to the City’s general fund. Once the Public Safety Costs 2024 Outstanding Balance is paid in full, the Stadium Authority will disburse up to 50% of the remaining excess revenues to the Renovation and Demolition Reserve, and the remainder of excess revenues can be distributed to the City’s general fund. After the Renovation and Demolition Reserve has $70 million, the remaining available excess revenues may be distributed by Stadium Authority to the City’s general fund.

For fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the Stadium Authority transferred $12.3 million to the Renovation and Demolition Reserve, paid $6.2 million to StadCo to pay down the Public Safety Cost 2024 Outstanding Balance, and paid $6.2 million to the City’s general fund. (8) Subsequent Events
