10. Recent OPIC Guaranteed Transaction OPIC-Enhanced VFN Program: Reforma BLN-Backed I (the “Issuer”) issued Variable Funding Notes (“VFN”) backed by eligible underlying Bridge Loan Notes (“BLN”). Underlying BLNs are senior notes structured to BBB+/BBB global local currency ratings benefiting from subordination (via mezzanine notes and/or overcollateralization) and excess spread.
BLNs backed by Mexican land, infrastructure, and low income residential construction loans (“bridge loans”) as collateral
Issuer may only purchase BLNs that comply with the predefined eligibility criteria
All BLN and VFN cashflows are in Mexican Pesos
OPIC Guaranty denominated and capped in U.S. dollars
BLNs and VFNs function like revolvers. The outstanding balance of the VFNs is adjusted by draws under and prepayments of the underlying BLNs
Program Size: Maximum program size is Mexican Peso equivalent of US$330MM
Program expected to ramp up to maximum facility amount in next 18 months
11. Introduction Partial Credit Guarantee: OPIC provides a guaranty of 75% subject to US$250,000,000 cap.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default on an underlying BLN, OPIC’s guaranty will cover timely interest and ultimate principal under each underlying BLN.
Pass-through Interest Rate: All underlying notes are indexed to TIIE (i.e. floating rate coupon resetting monthly). Underlying BLNs’ interest passed through to VFN investors.
Final Maturity: VFN has six year revolving period, followed by two year amortization period.
Eight year legal final maturity.
