True Interest Cost of the Base Rental Payments Evidenced by the Bonds. Based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the true interest cost of the base rental payments evidenced by the Bonds, which means the rate necessary to discount the amounts payable on the respective principal and interest payment dates to the purchase price received for the Bonds, is 3.84%. 2. Finance Charge of the Bonds. Based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the City’s finance charge of the Bonds, which means the sum of all fees and charges paid to third parties (o r costs associated with the Bonds), is $175,000. 3. Amount of Proceeds to be Received. Based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the amount of proceeds expected to be received by the City following the Authority’s sale of the Bonds, less the finance charge of the Bonds described in paragraph 2 above and any reserves or capitalized interest paid or funded with proceeds of the Bonds, is $14,430,490. 4. Total Payment Amount. Based on market interest rates prevailing at the time of preparation of this information, a good faith estimate of the total payment amount, which means the sum total of all payments the City will make to pay base rental payments evidenced by the Bonds plus the finance charge of the Bonds described in paragraph 2 above not paid with the proceeds of the Bonds, calculated to the final base rental payment evidenced by the Bonds, is $18,092,275. Attention is directed to the fact that the foregoing information constitutes good faith estimates only. The actual interest cost, finance charges, amount of proceeds and total payment amount may vary from those presently estimated due to variations from these estimates in the timing of the sale of the Bonds, the actual principal amount of Bonds sold, the amortization of the Bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of sale. The date of sale and the amount of Bonds sold will be determined by the City based on need for improvement funds and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the Bonds will be sold will depend on the bond market at the time of sale. The actual amortization of the Bonds will also depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale. Market interest rates are affected by economic and other factors beyond the City’s control.
