  • Public-Private Partnerships (P3’s) describe the constellation of projects that are funded

by the intersection of private and public capital.

  • Water/Sewer
  • Energy
  • Transportation
  • Housing
  • These types of projects are common in Europe, Australia, and many developing

countries and can take various forms:

  • Sale of Existing Assets
  • Operating, Maintenance and Management Contracts
  • After many years of sporadic large P3 projects are finally gaining momentum in the US

despite weakness in the economy.

  • Majority of states have enabling legislation

US Government Incentives for P3s

  • Increased efforts have been made in the past decade to provide federal support for P3s.

However there have been recent challenges with this support.

  • Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Credit Support
  • Further exemptions from AMT for Private Activity Bonds (PABs) and expanded

definition of Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs) written into the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). (NOT RENEWED – 2010)

  • Remains to be seen how financial regulatory reform will affect the financing mechanisms

available for P3s.

  • However institutional investors are increasingly interested in investing in

infrastructure.

What is a Public Private Partnership?

An innovative method of funding and procurement for infrastructure projects: A contractual agreement between a public agency and a private partner to achieve all,

  • ne or a combination of the following:
  • Often referred to as a “P3” or “PPP.”
  • P3s are used extensively throughout the world for a

variety of infrastructure asset classes.

  • Monetize an existing infrastructure asset.
  • Design, construct, finance, and/or operate and

maintain an infrastructure project.

  • Increased value for money due to increased efficiency

and risk transfer to the private partner.

  • Transfer risks--such as revenue, operations,

permitting, capital maintenance, construction—to the partner best able to retain and manage them.

How Does a P3 Work?

  • Because a P3 can be applied to a variety of projects to achieve diverse goals, no two are identical. P3s

are tailored to meet the public agency’s financial, policy and operational goals.

  • A P3 is not an outright sale of a public asset. The public agency maintains ownership of the asset and

sets operational maintenance and safety standards sets operational, maintenance and safety standards.

Two Broad Categories

Asset Monetization Availability Payment

The infrastructure asset’s future revenues are monetized by the private partner.

The public agency pays the private partner pre- established rent-like “availability payments” that y p p

Key P3 Considerations and Questions

Does the public agency lose control? Under the P3 Agreement, the public agency controls user fees, design and construction standards, operating, maintenance and safety standards and

  • ther key parameters.

What will happen to user fees? The public agency can control user fee levels. The P3 Agreement may include revenue sharing or other arrangements to avoid financial windfalls to the private partner. How does the public The P3 Agreement imposes detailed operating maintenance and safety How does the public agency oversee

  • perations,

maintenance and capital improvements? The P3 Agreement imposes detailed operating, maintenance and safety standards and capital improvement requirements. A P3 requires thorough management and oversight by the public agency. capital improvements? What if the private partner does not perform? After an opportunity to cure the problem, the public agency may reclaim the asset without any payment to the private partner. Why is there demand for these assets now? Pension and sovereign wealth funds and other institutional investors are making significant allocations for infrastructure. There is particularly strong demand for US infrastructure assets due to their stable and predictable cash flows. p What is the necessary term to create interest for prospective investors? Typical term is likely 30 to 50 years to create sufficient return for investors commensurate with the risk undertaken. investors?

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 @ 1:00pm Eastern CDFA – BNY Mellon Development Finance Webcast Series: The Resurgence of Bond Finance in 2012

Bond finance volume is up 60% over last year, and it has everyone wondering: What is fueling the resurgence? The expiration of ARRA bond provisions and the malaise of the national economy made 2011 particularly moribund for the bond industry. Simple logic would suggest that 2012 is bound to be better, but there's something else -- new found confidence on Wall Street or a recovering national economy. During this installment of the CDFA-BNY Mellon Development Finance Webcast Series, we'll explore the resurgence of bond finance in 2012 and hear from the issuers, underwriters, and industry experts leading the market forward. We'll also learn about CDFA's new American Manufacturing Bond Finance Act of 2012 and how this proposed legislation will drive bond financing to even higher levels. Join the conversation and tell us about your experience in the bond market this year.
