(1)

A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time.

(2)

The issuing entity expects to deliver the senior secured storm recovery bonds against payment for the senior secured storm recovery bonds on or about December 18, 2024, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the senior secured storm recovery bonds. Since trades in the secondary market generally settle in one business day, purchasers who wish to trade senior secured storm recovery bonds on the date of pricing or the succeeding four business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the senior secured storm recovery bonds initially will settle in T+6, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

For the purposes of preparing the above chart, the following assumptions, among others, have been made: (i) in relation to the initial forecast, the forecast error stays constant over the life of the securitized utility tariff bonds and is equal to an overestimate of electricity consumption of 5% (0.02 standard deviations from mean) or 15% (3.64 standard deviations from mean), (ii) the servicer makes timely and accurate submissions to true-up the securitized utility tariff charges semi-annually, (iii) customer write-off rates are held constant at 0.50% for residential and non-residential, (iv) Southwestern Electric Power Company remits all securitized utility tariff charges on average 28 days after such charges are billed to residential and non-residential customers, (v) ongoing financing costs are equal to projections, (vi) there is no acceleration of the final maturity date of the securitized utility tariff bonds, (vii) a permanent loss of all customers has not occurred, and (viii) the issuance date of the securitized utility tariff bonds is December 18, 2024. There can be no assurance that the weighted average life of the securitized utility tariff bonds will be as shown.
