Tender Option Bond (“TOB”) Financings

 

The Partnership executed a Master Trust Agreement with DB which allows the Partnership to execute multiple TOB Trust structures upon the approval and agreement of terms by DB. Under each TOB Trust structure issued through the Master Trust Agreement, the TOB trustee issues SPEARS and LIFERS, which represent beneficial interests in the securitized asset held by the TOB Trusts. DB purchased the SPEARS and the Partnership retained the LIFERS of each TOB Trust. Pursuant to the terms of the TOB Trusts, the Partnership is required to reimburse DB for any shortfall realized on the contractual cash flows on the SPEARS. The LIFERS grant the Partnership certain rights to the securitized assets. The TOB Trusts are considered VIEs and the Partnership’s rights are such that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the TOB Trusts in the consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2016, the Partnership consolidated TOB Trusts securitized by the PHC Certifications. At December 31, 2015, the Partnership consolidated TOB Trusts securitized by the PHC Certificates and MBS Securities.  

 

The three MBS TOB Trusts were paid in full and collapsed in January 2016.  The Partnership expects to renew each TOB financing facility maturing in 2017 for additional six-month terms as it has the discretion to renew for six month periods per the terms of the agreement with DB.

In July 2015, due to certain restrictions imposed by the Volcker Rule, the Partnership and DB restructured eight of the existing TOB Trust structures by entering into a new Master Trust Agreement and creating new Term TOB Trusts. Similar to the TOB Trusts, the Partnership transferred assets to the Term TOB Trusts and the Term TOB Trusts issued Class A and Class B Certificates, which represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets.  DB purchased the Class A Certificates and the Partnership retained the Class B Certificates. Pursuant to the terms of the Term TOB Trusts, the Partnership is required to reimburse DB for any shortfall realized on the contractual cash flows on the Class A Certificates. The Class B Certificates grant the Partnership certain rights to the securitized assets. The Term TOB Trusts are considered VIEs and the Partnership’ rights are such that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Term TOB Trusts in the consolidated financial statements.  

The Term TOB Trust collateralized by the Pro Nova 2014-2 mortgage revenue bond was paid in full and collapsed March 2016. The Partnership expects to renew each Term TOB financing facility maturing in 2017 for an additional term.

The Master Trust Agreement with DB has covenants with which the Partnership is required to maintain compliance. At December 31, 2016, the most restrictive covenant was that cash available to distribute for the trailing twelve months must be at least two times trailing twelve-month interest expense. On December 31, 2016 the Partnership was in compliance with all of these covenants. If the Partnership were to be out of compliance with any of these covenants, it would trigger a termination event of the financing facilities.

At December 31, 2015, the Partnership had two interest rate swap arrangements related to the Decatur Angle and Bruton Apartments mortgage revenue bonds that were securitized in Term TOB Trusts. The Partnership posted approximately $1.9 million of cash collateral related to the interest rate swap agreements, which is reported as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015. See Note 19 for additional information on interest rate swap and cap arrangements.

Term A/B Trust Financings

Beginning in September 2016, the Partnership and DB began creating a series of Term A/B Trusts as a means to securitize the Partnership’s mortgage revenue bonds for longer terms and at fixed interest rates. Similar to the Term TOB Trusts described above, the Partnership transferred assets to the Term A/B Trusts and the Term A/B Trusts issued Class A and Class B Certificates, which represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets. DB purchased the Class A Certificates and the Partnership retained the Class B Certificates. Pursuant to the terms of the Term A/B Trusts, the Partnership is required to reimburse DB for any shortfall realized on the contractual cash flows on the Class A Certificates. The Class B Certificates grant the Partnership certain rights to the securitized assets. The Term A/B Trusts are considered VIEs and the Partnership’s rights are such that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Term A/B Trusts in the consolidated financial statements.

During the third quarter of 2016, the Partnership paid off and collapsed seven of its nine Term TOB Trusts, simultaneously executing twelve new Term A/B Trust agreements secured by mortgage revenue bonds.  Based on the terms of the Term A/B Trust, the restructuring of the debt was accounted for as a modification, with approximately $1.4 million capitalized as deferred financing costs. Approximately $1.2 million of capitalized costs were paid to a related party (Note 24).

In December 2016, the Partnership entered into four new short-term Term A/B Trusts with an original maturity date in March 2017. The Partnership intends to either extend the term of these Term A/B Trusts or create new Term A/B Trusts with a longer term.

At December 31, 2016, the Partnership had two interest rate swap arrangements related to the Decatur Angle and Bruton Apartments mortgage revenue bonds that were securitized in Term A/B Trusts. The Partnership posted approximately $1.4 million of cash collateral related to the interest rate swap agreements, which is reported as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016. See Note 19 for additional information on the interest rate swap and cap arrangements

Tax Exempt Bond Securitization (“TEBS”) Financings

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Partnership, through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Sponsors”), sponsored three separate TEBS Financings – the M33 TEBS Financing, M31 TEBS Financing and M24 TEBS Financing. The TEBS Financings are structured such that the Partnership transfers mortgage revenue bonds to Freddie Mac to be securitized into the TEBS Trusts. Freddie Mac then issues Class A and Class B Freddie Mac Multifamily Variable Rate Certificates (collectively, the “TEBS Certificates”), which represent beneficial interests in the securitized assets. The Class A TEBS Certificates are sold to unaffiliated investors and entitle the holders to cash flows from the securitized assets. The Class B TEBS Certificates are retained by the Sponsors and grant the Partnership rights to certain cash flows from the securitized assets after payment to the Class A Certificates and related facility fees, as well as certain other rights to the securitized assets. The TEBS Financings are considered VIEs and the Partnership’s rights are such that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the TEBS Financings in the consolidated financial statements.

The terms of the TEBS Financings require the Partnership to fund cash into certain escrow accounts. Balances in the escrow accounts are reported as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The interest rates on the TEBS Financings have variable components. In order to mitigate exposure to interest rate fluctuations on the variable rates, the Sponsors entered into interest rate cap agreements (Note 19).

M33 TEBS Financing

In July 2015, the Partnership, through its wholly-owned subsidiary of ATAX TEBS III, LLC (“Sponsor”), and Freddie Mac entered into a number of agreements relating to a new long-term debt financing facility referred to as the M33 TEBS Financing. The Sponsor securitized nine mortgage revenue bonds with an aggregate par value of approximately $105.4 million into the M33 TEBS Financing. See Note 6 for information on the mortgage revenue bonds securitized in the M33 TEBS Financing.    

 

The M33 Class A TEBS Certificates were issued in an initial principal amount of approximately $84.3 million and were sold through a placement agent to unaffiliated investors. After payment of transaction expenses, the Partnership received net proceeds from the M33 TEBS Financing of approximately $82.2 million.

The term of the M33 TEBS financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the M33 TEBS Certificates, except the Sponsor may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the securitized mortgage revenue bonds from Freddie Mac on either July 15, 2020 or July 15, 2025.  Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the M33 TEBS Financing on these dates, the full term of the M33 TEBS Financing will run through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized mortgage revenue bonds, or August 1, 2055.

M31 TEBS Financing

The M31 TEBS Financing was initiated in July 2014. The term of the M31 TEBS Financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the M31 TEBS Certificates, except ATAX TEBS II, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Bonds from Freddie Mac on either July 15, 2019 or July 15, 2024. Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the M31 TEBS Financing on these dates, the full term of the M31 TEBS Financing will run through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized bonds, or August 1, 2050.  

M24 TEBS Financing

The M24 TEBS Financing was initiated in September 2011. The term of the M24 TEBS Financing coincides with the terms of the assets securing the M24 TEBS Certificates, except that ATAX TEBS I, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, may terminate the M24 TEBS Financing at its option on either September 15, 2017 or September 15, 2020. Should the Partnership not elect to terminate the M24 TEBS Financing on these dates, the full term of the M24 TEBS Financing will run through the final principal payment date associated with the securitized bonds, or July 15, 2050. The Partnership plans to renew the M24 TEBS Financing when it matures in 2017.

In November and December of 2015, the Fairmont Oaks and Bent Tree properties were sold and the mortgage revenue bond investments in the M24 Financing were paid off in full. The Partnership received approximately $14.1 million for the mortgage revenue bond principal plus base interest which was used to retire a portion of the M24 TEBS Financing facility.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Partnership implemented Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)”. The new accounting guidance changed the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements to present them as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than classified as Other Assets, applied retrospectively. This new ASU did not change the presentation of debt issuance costs related to revolving LOCs as these continue to be reported as Other Assets. Adoption of the standard resulted in decreases in reported Other Assets of approximately $5.4 million, reported Debt Financings of approximately $4.9 million and reported Mortgages Payable and Other Secured Financing of approximately $470,000.

The Partnership has entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) of up to $50.0 million with Bankers Trust, the Partnership’s sole lead arranger and administrative agent.  The Credit Agreement originated in March 2015 and was subsequently amended. The latest amendment in November 2016 extended the maturity from May 2017 to May 2018. The LOC bears interest at a variable rate equal to 2.5% plus the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The principal amount of each acquisition advance is due on the 270th day following the advance date (the “Repayment Date”).  The Partnership may extend any Repayment Date for up to three additional 90-day periods. In order to extend the Repayment Date, the Partnership must make principal payments equal to 5% of the original advance for the first extension, 10% for the second extension, and 20% for the third extension. The Repayment Date may not be extended beyond the stated maturity of the LOC. The Repayment Date for the balance outstanding at December 31, 2016, exclusive of available extensions, is in September 2017. The proceeds of the unsecured LOC will be used by the Partnership for the purchase of multifamily real estate, taxable or mortgage revenue bonds, public housing capital fund trust certificates, or mortgage backed securities.  The Partnership intends to repay each advance either through alternative long-term debt or equity financing. The unsecured LOC contains a covenant, among others, that the Partnership’s ratio of the lender’s senior debt will not exceed a specified percentage of the market value of the Partnership’s assets, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  The Partnership is in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2016.

During 2015 and 2016, the Partnership had an unsecured operating LOC with Bankers Trust for up to $5.0 million. In March 2016, the operating LOC was amended to raise the commitment to $7.5 million and extend the maturity to March 2017. In November 2016, the operating LOC was again amended to extend the maturity to March 2018. The unsecured operating LOC bore interest at a variable rate equal to 3.25% plus the 30-day LIBOR. The Partnership is required to make prepayments of the principal to reduce outstanding principal balance on the operating line to zero for fifteen consecutive days during each calendar quarter.  The Partnership fulfilled this requirement during the three months ended December 31, 2016.  

During 2015 and early 2016, the Partnership had an unsecured operating LOC with Five Points Bank for up to $5.0 million. The unsecured LOC matured in March 2016 and all outstanding principal balances and accrued interest were paid.
