The Bonds will be issued as qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Section 145 of the Code and will be used to finance or refinance health facilities.
Exhibit A attached hereto sets forth (i) the initial owner or operator of each component of the Projects, (ii) the location of each component of the Project, (iii) the maximum principal amount of the Bonds related to each location and (iv) a general description of the campus on which each component of the Project is located.
The Bonds will not be in any respect general obligations of the City, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Authority, the State of Indiana, or any political subdivision thereof, but will be special and limited obligations of the Authority, as the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be payable solely from the property pledged thereto, including without limitation the revenues and receipts received from the repayment of the loan by the Borrower. The Bonds will not be payable in any manner from revenues raised by taxation. The Bonds shall not constitute a debt, liability or general or moral obligations of the City, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Authority, the State of Indiana, or any political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of any of them, and shall be payable only as aforesaid.
At the time set for the public hearing, interested persons will be given a reasonable opportunity to express their views, both orally (via telephonic participation) and in writing, on the proposed plan of financing and refinancing for the Projects and other matters relating to the Bonds.
