DelVal Loan Program
Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties created the Delaware Valley Regional Finance Authority (“DelVal”) in 1985 to provide loans to local governments in Pennsylvania (the “Loan Program”). Loans are limited to funding capital projects. DelVal does not originate Loans for tax and revenue anticipation, industrial development, higher education facilities, or health care facilities. Loans to Local Government Units (including boroughs, cities, counties, school districts, and townships) must be secured by the pledge of the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the Local Government Units. In order to participate in the Loan Program, authorities or other political subdivisions must be: (i) rated "Aa3" or "AA-" or higher, (ii) secured by a guaranty agreement or a similar security agreement of a Local Government Unit or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or (iii) secured by a financial guaranty insurance policy. Since 1985, DelVal has originated more than $4 billion of Loans to more than 210 local governments and authorities in 16 counties. Currently, approximately $1 billion of Loans to more than 100 different borrowers are outstanding.
*Based on actual spreads to "AAA" indices and actual issuance costs.
**Based on Bloomberg "AAA" General Obligation indices with a 5% coupon, 10-year option, and actual issuance costs.
*** Based on actual rates and issuance cost. The option is not likely to be economic when the rate is below 2.50%.
Past results are not a predictor of future spreads and costs.
DelVal has been successful due to the low-interest costs and costs of issuance that the program affords.
