m nicipal entity authority)
have automatic access to municipal bond financing
(
(without volume cap allocation restrictions)
p )
for project finance via a public/private partnership
3. What is the “63-20” Program?
Since 1963, so-called “63-20” corporations have been authorized
by the IRS and formed under general state non-profit corporation
law.
A “63-20” corporation has the power to issue municipal bonds
which are treated as debt obligations funded on behalf of a
political subdivision for public purposes.
This allows municipalities to create an alter-ego entity that could
act in concert with the local government, but which would hold
separate ownership of the project.
This allows the municipality to own assets in the entity that are not
direct obligations of the municipality.
4. Example
A private developer (or the municipality) owns a particular
property (i.e., land), which has a cost basis lower than the current
appraisal.
The landowner has designed a project for consideration, and the
municipality has a favorable opinion towards the project.
To move the project forward, the municipality forms a state
organized not for profit (a “63-20” Corporation).
not-for-profit 63 20
The land will be contributed (as equity) to the new not-for-profit.
The landowner may agree to carry back a portion of the value as
“subordinate debt”, but may also receive cash at closing.
The “63-20”
Th “63 20” would then obtain municipal bond financing and the
ld th bt i i i l b d fi i d th
developer would proceed to complete the project.
The municipal bond financing would not be an obligation of the
municipality, and the debt would be repaid from project revenues.
The municipality provides a Moral Obligation for the debt.
Financing is typically 30-year amortization with level debt service
Ownership of the project reverts to the “63-20” upon debt
repayment
5. “63-20” corporations must meet each of the following tests
p g
in order to achieve “on behalf of” issuer status:

public in nature;

p pp y
political subdivision thereof, either of which must also have
approved the specific obligation issued by the corporation
The state or a political subdivision thereof must have a beneficial
interest in the “63 20” corporation while the indebtedness remains
“63-20”
outstanding;
The sponsoring municipality (state or political subdivision) must
have rights to obtain full title to the property of the “63-20”
g p p y
corporation, which was acquired by the indebtedness, at the
retirement of aforementioned borrowing.
