DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Preston Hollow Community Capital (“Preston Hollow” or “PHCC”), a provider of specialized impact financing solutions for projects of social and economic importance to local communities, announces the February 14, 2024 pricing and February 23, 2024 closing of a $202.5 million Tax-Exempt Pooled Securities (“TEPSTM”) financing through the Public Finance Authority (“PFA”). The financing consists of $135 million of Class A Certificates, which have been assigned an Aa2 (sf) rating from Moody’s Investors Service and $67.5 million of Class B Certificates which are not rated.
The Certificates are secured by a collateral pool of tax-exempt bonds, the vast majority of which were directly originated by PHCC. TEPSTM provides PHCC with an attractive cost of capital, a more standardized financing structure and reliable access to long-term funding through the tax-exempt capital markets.
The Class A Certificates were oversubscribed, with orders from nearly 20 different investors. PHCC purchased the $67.5MM Class B Certificates.
Jim Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Preston Hollow, commented, “This is our second TEPSTM transaction following our successful 2023 inaugural issuance, and we’re gratified by the strong market reception. We see TEPSTM as a leading source of our future funding and we plan to be a regular issuer.”
J.P. Morgan and Hilltop Securities Inc. served as the Underwriters for the Bonds. Kutak Rock LLP and Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP served as counsel and disclosure counsel to the Sponsor, respectively, with Orrick and Ballard Spahr LLP serving as Underwriters’ counsel.
