HomeMy WebLinkAbout20161124.tiff 4 TALKING POINTS ON WHY VARIOUS DOCUMENTS WERE AMENDED AND RESTATED INTRODUCTION--HISTORICAL • All of the basic financing documents were originally written back in 1985 • Because of the ownership structure in place then, a fairly complicated financing mechanism was developed • The owner of the facilities is the County, and the original operator of the facilities was a county related entity, the Board of Trustees for North Colorado Medical Center • But the issuer of the bonds was and is another entity, Colorado Health Facilities Authority • So the structure involved a Ground Lease from the County to the Colorado Health Facilities Authority ; the Authority issues the Bonds and uses the proceeds for the Hospital and this was done through a financing Lease ; NCMC , Inc . came along and they took over functions for the Board of Trustees, so an Operating Sublease was entered into whereby NCMC agreed to take over the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees • Over the years, as more bonds were issued, all of these documents were amended time and again, and it became almost impossible to follow the nuances of all the changes • So in 2012 , Bond Counsel took all the amendments and supplements, and melded them into restated documents, in particular a Restated Trust Indenture, a Restated Lease and a Restated Operating Sublease • So the purpose back then was really to make the documents more readable and user friendly . WHEN ADDITIONAL BONDS ARE ISSUED , THESE DOCUMENTS NEED TO BE AMENDED TO REFLECT THE NEW BONDS , BUT IF AN AMENDMENT IS NEEDED WE DO THIS VIA RESTATING THE DOCUMENTS AGAIN SO ALL PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO ANY DOCUMENT ARE IN ONE PLACE . 2016- 1124 4820-0047-4159. 1 SECOND RESTATED TRUST INDENTURE • NCMC is not a party to the Trust Indenture which is between the Colorado Health Facilities Authority and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee • The Second Restated Trust Indenture is restated primarily to provide the details with respect to the new, Series 2016 Bonds, including principal amounts, interest rates , redemptions, use of bond proceeds • Since the 2003 Bonds are being refunded, we also deleted almost all of the provisions dealing with the 2003 Bonds • So the Restated Indenture now contains the details on the outstanding 2012 and 2013 Bonds, plus the new 2016 Bonds • We created funds and accounts in the Indenture for the 2016 Bonds which parallel the funds and accounts for the 2012 Bonds and the 2013 Bonds, including a 2016 Cost of Issuance Fund, a 2016 Project Fund (which is where amounts reimbursing NCMC Inc . will be deposited and then disbursed from) , a 2016 Rebate Fund, etc . • We also deleted details with respect to Assured Guaranty being the bond insurer, since the 2003 Bonds they insured will have been refunded • We left in the concept of a "Bond Insurer" which is given certain rights in case we happen to have one in the future, though that is probably unlikely; and the provisions have no applicability when there is no Bond Insurer, as will be the case immediately after we issue the 2016 Bonds SECOND RESTATED LEASE AGREEMENT • This is a document between Colorado Health Facilities Authority and the Board of Trustees for North Colorado Medical Center • It was restated to acknowledge that the 2003 Bonds were going away, and that we have new 2016 Bonds • In Article III, we added provisions relative to the use of 2016 Bond proceeds • It added a "tax covenant" for the new 2016 Bonds, which states the Board of Trustees will not do anything to adversely affect the tax-exemption of the Bonds • References to Assured Guaranty as a bond insurer were deleted or genericized to just refer to possible future bond insurers 4820-0047-4159. 1 FIRST RESTATED OPERATING SUBLEASE • This is between the Board of Trustees and NCMC, Inc . and obligated NCMC, Inc. to pay to the Bond Trustee amounts sufficient to pay the Bonds • It has always contained various financial covenants, and these have not been changed • This was NOT restated in 2013 when the 2013 Bonds were issued, because it used a generic term throughout of "Bonds" to cover all past and future Bonds, so it was not necessary to amend it or restate it • However, this time, amendments were made to simplify some things for the benefit of NCMC, Inc . • There was an old requirement to maintain with Wells Fargo, the Trustee, a Depreciation Fund into which certain fairly small amounts had to be deposited and then could be used by NCMC . This was required by investors in some of the early bonds and by Assured Guaranty, the insurer of the 2003 Bonds . It has been eliminated in the Restated Sublease. • Also eliminated in Section 5 .25 were details required by Assured Guaranty, as both a bond insurer and at one time it also insured a swap ; both of these points are no longer relevant • Section 5 .26 dealt with "Financial Products Agreements" which were essentially interest rate swaps that were and are specifically used to hedge a series of bonds . While NCMC still has some swaps on its books really as investments, those "investments" don' t hedge bonds . The only one that hedges bonds is a swap done in 2013 with the parent of Compass Bank. We have fixed Section 5 .26 to make it clear that the only swap subject to the "Financial Products Agreement" provisions is the 2013 swap relative to those bonds . Future swaps are allowed under the same existing conditions . FIRST RESTATED GROUND LEASE • This is the Ground Lease from the County to Colorado Health Facilities Authority • This is being amended because the TERM needed to be extended. The existing bonds go out only through about 2030, and the new bonds may go out to as far as 2034 • So this will extend the Ground Lease to whatever the ultimate terms of the 2016 Bonds turns out to be (but not beyond May 15 , 2034) • It also cleaned up some errant notice addresses from the prior version • It is a "First" Restated Ground Lease because in 2013 it was not necessary to extend the term 4820-0047-4159. 1 _ SECOND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT • NCMC, Inc. has always been required to "guarantee" payment of the Bonds under a Guaranty Agreement • NCMC is already committed under the Sublease to make payments equal to the debt service on the Bonds • However, in the remote chance of a bankruptcy, a "lease" such as the First Restated Operating Sublease can potentially be rejected as not being indebtedness by a bankruptcy court • Since the Sublease is really intended as a debt instrument, the "guaranty" is a backstop which again, in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy, would probably not be rejected by a bankruptcy court and would be treated as debt • The First Restated Guaranty Agreement already covered all Bonds outstanding, past or future • With that background, the only thing that changes in this Second Restated Guaranty Agreement is changing a cross reference from the First Restated Lease to the Second Restated Lease between the Board of Trustees and the Colorado Health Facilities Authority • It also deleted certain rights of and references to the Bond Insurer 4820-0047-4159. 1 Esther Gesick From : Schultz, Ken < Ken .

I realize that within this explanation there are some rather esoteric concepts and that I may not have covered every base, so you may not feel comfortable with all the nuances . Since the only objective here is to provide you with greater clarity, if this doesn ' t quite get it done, please don ' t hesitate to contact me in advance of the upcoming meetings for further clarification. Best regards , Ken . 1 SERIES 2016 BOND ISSUE Rationale March 18, 2016 Arguments supporting the issuance of $ 110,000,000 in Series 2016 A& B Bonds include : 1 . NEED : In 2015, $40 million was transferred from INC' s investment accounts to fund capital outlays related to the MCP Infrastructure Project . The drawdown came at a time when the stock market was experiencing a correction . As a result of these two factors, days cash on- hand , a key liquidity metric, decreased 52 days from 299 to 247 on a year-over-year basis . Thus, INC needs to replenish its cash position . In anticipation of this need , on 4/28/15, the INC Board adopted a " " reimbursement resolution" reserving the right to reimburse itself for $ 35 million of capital expenditures by issuing that amount of future debt . 2 . MARKET CONDITIONS : Current market conditions - in particular, significant inflows of cash to municipal bond funds and the willingness of muni buyers to pay healthy premiums for new bond issues to replace retiring bond issues — have made it possible to advance refund INC' s outstanding $ 78 . 9 million Series 2003 A& B Bonds . These bonds mature at various dates between 2020 and 2030, carry an average fixed rate of 5 . 65 %, and are callable in 2019 . Normally, it would be inadvisable to "advance refund " three years prior to the call date on a bond because it would be too expensive . However, at this juncture, due to a market tailwind and the recent increase in Treasury rates, the refunding cost can be mitigated and INC could potentially realize gross cash flow savings of $ 9 . 9 million ($ 8 . 2 million on a net present value basis ) on future 2003A& B P& I payments, although these estimates are dependent on market conditions the day the issue is priced . Given these factors, it appears to be a good time to proceed with refunding the 2003A& B Bonds and rebuilding INC' s liquidity position by borrowing an additional $40 million at the same time . 3 . LOWER COST OF CAPITAL & OTHER OBJECTIVES : INC' s current cost of capital is approximately 3 . 9 %; one of the key objectives of the proposed offering is to lower it to approximately 2 . 9% . Other goals include : 1 ) maintaining the company' s A+ credit rating; 2 ) increasing days-cash on - hand ; and 3 ) maintaining maximum annual debt service ( MADS ) at or below $ 19 million annually ( so the debt coverage ratio is not negatively impacted by the new debt) . This last objective will require the maturity dates on the new issue to extend beyond the expiration of the Banner operating agreement in December 2027 and beyond the final maturities on the Series 2003 Bonds ( 2030 ) . The intent is to limit this extension on the final maturities on the new issue to no more than four years ( 2034 ) . 4 . DISADVANTAGES/RISKS : The most obvious disadvantage of issuing $40 million in new debt is that it will increase INC' s leverage; debt-to-total capitalization will increase from 38% to 44% . However, based on S & P' s new credit analysis system, the increase of INC' s debt burden is more than offset by the replenished liquidity from the reimbursement of the $40 million . Another disadvantage of refinancing the Series 2003 A& B Bonds is that it will require INC to write-off in 2016 approximately $ 3 million in unamortized deferred financing costs ( primarily prepaid insurance premiums) related to that issue , although this will be recorded as a " non-cash" expense .

Although at first glance most of these fees appear to be high, I am assured that they are actually pretty standard fare . Wells Fargo originally quoted $ 5 . 33/$ 1 , 000 ($ 586,300), but with the help of Steve Clark we negotiated down to $ 5 . 05/$ 1 , 000 ($ 555 , 500) . By comparison, the underwriter' s discount (or "spread") on the fixed portion of Banner' s most recent issue was $4 . 85/$ 1 , 000 . Kutak Rock initially quoted $ 151 , 000 all in and, again thanks to Steve Clark, came down to $ 130, 000 . So we negotiated a total savings of $ 51 , 800 ; nothing sensational, but we ' re probably paying less than top dollar at sub- 1 % of the total issuance . In and of themselves, these costs will not impact INC ' s bottom line as they will be added to the debt and amortized over the life of the bonds . However, we will need to write-off the unamortized issuance costs, premiums and discounts generated by the Series 2003 Bond issue . As of 2/29/ 16, that write-off would have resulted in a non-cash expense of $3 . 6 million . [These costs are still so high because they include the unamortized insurance premium paid to FSA/Assured Guaranty on the date the bonds were issued . ] Since non-cash expenses are added back for the purpose of calculating the coverage ratios on INC ' s outstanding debt, the only detrimental impact the $3 . 6 million write-off will have is to decrease net equity by a like amount. Any negative perception that the adjustment may have caused will be completely swamped by the addition of $ 110 million in debt to the balance sheet. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter. I will try to give you some on-going insight into the genesis of the bond issue as we approach the upcoming meeting dates so everything isn ' t dumped on you in one fell swoop . Right now, we have a work session scheduled with the County Commissioners on March 21St ( 11 : 00 AM) in anticipation of their resolution on March 28th (9 : 00 AM); the Board of Trustees will take action at their regularly scheduled meeting on March 28th (noon) ; and the INC Board will hold a Finance Committee meeting on March 29th ( 11 : 30 AM) followed directly thereafter by a special Board of Directors meeting ( 1 : 00 PM) to approve the issue as well as the 12/31 / 15 audited financial information to be included in the Official Statement. Meetings with the ratings agencies are scheduled for April 14th (Fitch) and April 15th ( S&P) . The bonds should be priced shortly thereafter and close approximately two weeks later (early May?) .
