55 PRIVITAZATION – FINANCING OPTIONS FOR NEW PROJECTS There is a broad continuum of financing options: There is a broad continuum of financing options: Tax-exempt financing can be used for a significant portion of most structures. Publicly Owned and Financed with Tax-Exempt Bonds (Interest Rate: 5.5% - 6%) Privately Owned and Financed with Equity Contributions (Rate of Return: 20% -30%) Between these two extremes, a variety of structures utilizing tax-exempt debt, taxable debt and equity funding are possible.

56 THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF NON-RECOURSE DEBT: ON-CREDIT AND OFF-CREDIT On-Credit Non-Recourse Debt Secured only by a limited, particular stream of revenues or assets, usually those of the financed project, rather than by a general revenue pledge. Off-Credit True Non-Recourse Debt In addition to the limited security described above, there is a transfer of risk (legal and perceived or real vested interest) away from the University or Affiliated Organization to some other creditworthy entity.

57 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES – THE GOOD NEWS From the Perspective of the Public or Non-Profit Partner Reduces ownership and development risks. Reduces primary public or non-profit partner capital investment. Monetizes excess and underutilized assets. May utilize private partner expertise and creativity. Implementation schedule may be accelerated.

58 From the Perspective of the Private or For-Profit Partner Often public/private developments are high profile projects. Jointly control a college or university-owned real estate asset available for the first time. If needed, primary and secondary college or university partner provides capital and/or non-capital investments. Reduces development cost and enhances cash flow. May utilize private partner expertise and creativity. Approval process may be accelerated. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES – THE GOOD NEWS

59 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES – THE BAD NEWS From the Perspective of the Public or Non-Profit Partner Reduces control over design, delivery, and operation. Reliance on a virtually unknown private entity. Deal structure may be perceived as not a fair and reasonable sharing of costs, risks, responsibilities and economic return. Private partner has the right to sell project to an unknown third party. Economic return is primarily contingent on performance of private partner.

60 From the Perspective of the Private or For-Profit Partner Substantial cost in time and capital risk. Often public or non-profit partner is not prepared to structure, negotiate and implement. Development site is either not under control, has environmental problems and/or is not entitled. Public or non-profit partners expectations are not in line with the capital markets. Public or non-profit partner is subject to political change. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES – THE BAD NEWS

61 PARTNERSHIPS CAN BE CUSTOMIZED TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF PARTNERS Variables to Consider and to Evaluate Level of participation in structuring, implementing, and managing the project. Financing sources. Financing techniques. Financing, design, construction, and operational responsibilities. Finance structure. Accounting Factors: FASB vs. GASB Distribution of cash flow among the public and private entities. Ownership position. Design, construction, and operational risks. Level of control. Implementation schedule. Legal interrelationships among the project entities.
