Single-Family Financing Essentials: Mortgage Revenue Bonds January 15, 2015 CONFIDENTIAL HFA Institute 2015
2 HFA Financing Overview City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Housing Finance Authority Capital Markets Funding Activity Mortgage Lending First-time Home Buyers $$$ HFAs profit from spread between lending and borrowing
3 HFA Financing Overview Traditionally, HFAs have funded lending through the sale of tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds (MRBs) under U.S. Code § 143 using allocated Private Activity Volume Cap. Lower interest payments since investors don’t pay tax Allows for below market-rate mortgage lending (usually) Spread between single-family mortgage and bond rates limited to 1.125% City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL
4 Investor View of MRBs City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Unique type of municipal bond Revenue stream from mortgages o Not really a muni credit, more like ABS Prepayments make average lives unpredictable Duration goes against the investor o Mortgage Revenue Bonds sell at a premium to other comparable municipal bonds. Limited buyer base Very much a small niche of the fixed income markets
5 Has Anyone Seen an MRB? City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL
6 Recent Market for MRBs City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL In low interest rate environments, the difference between taxable and tax-exempt rates compresses, reducing or eliminating the funding advantage for HFAs. Loss of funding advantage from tax exemption
7 Recent Market for MRBs City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL MRB issuance decreased significantly in the financial crisis and has stayed low due to rate compression.
8 Current MRB Structures City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Over that past 5 years, HFAs have struggled to find MRB structures that provide competitive funding for single-family lending programs. Majority of recent bond issues have utilized one or more of the following structuring techniques: Alter bond structure to attract non-traditional buyers Use existing assets to provide subsidy to new bond issues Use overall strength of bond indenture to support bond issues that won’t cashflow on their own
9 Attracting New Buyers City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Increasing Pool of Investors Make Bonds more Generic Structure bonds so that they can be sold to average life
10 Using Existing Assets City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Zero-Participation Mortgages Transfer mortgages that are over tax-law restricted spread into a new deal Use money that otherwise would have gone to IRS to subsidize lower mortgage rates Refunding Refinance higher rate outstanding bond issues Basically create new zero participation mortgages Over-collateralization Additional mortgages allow bonds to pay down faster Create shorter average life for investors
11 Using Indenture Strength City Securities CorporationCONFIDENTIAL Front load bond maturities Structure bonds assuming some prepayment level higher than 0% PSA Increase PAC size More bonds sold to average life reduces bond yield “PAC in the Back” Structure Similar benefits to front-loaded maturities In addition, allows you to move up the yield curve to where rates are lower

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”) has adopted MSRB Rule G-23 (“G-23”). G-23 prohibits a broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer (each, a “Dealer”) from acting as a Financial Advisor or Municipal Advisor, as defined in Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to an issuer of municipal securities on a particular issue of municipal securities and subsequently switching roles to act as an underwriter or placement agent with respect to the same particular issue of municipal securities. MSRB Notice (the “G-23 Notice”) defines “underwritings” to be both (i) the acquisition, either alone or as a participant in a syndicate or other similar account formed for purpose of acquiring an issue of municipal securities, of all or any portion of an issue of municipal securities, directly or indirectly, from the issuer, as principal and (ii) acting as an agent for the issuer in arranging the placement of such issue. Additionally, the MSRB states in the G-23 Notice, “the primary role of an underwriter is to purchase securities in an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the issuer and the underwriter” and, “the underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of the issuer.” Furthermore, G-23 states that an underwriter may provide advice concerning the structure, timing, terms, and other similar matters related to the issuance of municipal securities to the extent the underwriter discloses that such advice is provided with respect to the underwriting and not in relation to a financial advisory relationship, as specifically defined in G-23. The MSRB has also adopted MSRB Rule G-17 (“G-17”). In accordance with MSRB Notice (the “G-17 Notice”), a Dealer, which is involved as the underwriter in the sale of municipal securities on a negotiated basis (the “Underwriter”), is required to provide to the Municipal Entities, as defined in Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are involved in the issuance of such municipal securities the following written disclosures: (a) G-17 requires the Underwriter to deal fairly at all times with both municipal issuers and investors; (b) the Underwriter’s primary role in any anticipated purchase and sale of such municipal securities is to purchase the municipal securities with a view to distribution in an arms-length commercial transaction with such Municipal Entities, and the Underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of such Municipal Entities; (c) unlike a Municipal Advisor, the Underwriter does not have a fiduciary duty to such Municipal Entities under the federal securities laws, and is, therefore, not required by federal law to act in the bests interests of such Municipal Entities without regard to its own financial or other interests; (d) the Underwriter has a duty to purchase such municipal securities from such Municipal Entities at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that duty with the Underwriter’s duty to sell such municipal securities to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable; and (e) the Underwriter will review the official statement for such municipal securities in accordance with, and as a part of, its responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied to the facts and circumstances of the Transaction. Furthermore, under G-17 the Underwriter may not recommend that such Municipal Entities not retain a Municipal Advisor. Accordingly, and in compliance with G-17, G-23, the G-17 Notice and the G-23 Notice, City Securities Corporation (“CSC”) hereby expressly states that: (a) CSC is acting as an underwriter or placement agent under G-17 and G-23 and not as a Financial Advisor or Municipal Advisor in connection with all services proposed and/or provided with respect to any of the matters set forth in the City Securities Corporation Possible Financing Options attached to these disclaimers (the “Financial Presentation Materials”); (b) any services provided by CSC as they relate to its role as underwriter or placement agent should not be construed by anyone to be those provided by a Financial Advisor or Municipal Advisor and such notice, as required under G-23 and the G-23 Notice and described above, is hereby provided; (c) the written disclosures, as required under G-17 and the G-17 Notice and described above with respect to CSC acting as the Underwriter, are hereby provided to each recipient of the Financial Presentation Materials; and (d) it is CSC’s understanding that each Municipal Entity that is involved in the issuance of one or more of the municipal securities identified in the Financial Presentation Materials has consulted, or will consult, with such Municipal Entity’s own legal and financial advisors to the extent such Municipal Entity deemed, or will deem, appropriate in connection with the issuance and sale of any such municipal securities.
