The Partnership reported the following results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
In September 2023, the Partnership announced that the Board of Managers of Greystone AF Manager LLC declared a quarterly distribution to the Partnership's BUC holders of $0.44 per BUC. The distribution consisted of a regular quarterly cash distribution of $0.37 per BUC and a supplemental distribution payable in the form of additional BUCs equal in value to $0.07 per BUC. The supplemental distribution of additional BUCs was paid at a ratio of 0.00418 BUCs for each issued and outstanding BUC as of the record date. The distribution was paid on October 31, 2023, to BUC holders of record as of the close of trading on September 29, 2023. While the Board has not yet declared any distributions for subsequent quarters, the Board currently intends to declare additional supplemental distributions of $0.07 per BUC payable in the form of additional BUCs during the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024.
Recent Investment and Financing Activity
The Partnership reported the following updates for the third quarter of 2023:
The Partnership reported the following updates for the nine months ended September 30, 2023:
In November 2023, the Partnership completed a new secured financing transaction (the “TEBS Residual Financing”) secured by its residual interests in three Freddie Mac Tax Exempt Bond Securitization financings (“TEBS Financings”). The transaction involved the sale of the TEBS Financings residual interests to a governmental entity, which then issued and sold $61.5 million of senior Affordable Housing Multifamily Certificates to unaffiliated investors. The Partnership retained $20.5 million of residual Affordable Housing Multifamily Certificates as part of the transaction. The Partnership received net proceeds of approximately $60.4 million after payment of transaction-related costs. The $61.5 million of senior Affordable Housing Multifamily Certificates represent secured financing of the Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The senior Affordable Housing Multifamily Certificate holders are entitled to interest at a fixed rate of 7.125% per annum as well as certain principal payments from the assets within the TEBS Residual Financing. The TEBS Residual Financing has a maximum term ending in July 2034. The Partnership used $57.9 million of the net proceeds to pay down existing variable-rate corporate debt with a higher interest rate and a shorter maturity.
Management Remarks
“Our third quarter and year-to-date results continue to demonstrate strong returns from the execution of our core strategies,” said Kenneth C. Rogozinski, the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer.
“The closing of the TEBS Residual Financing provides many benefits to the Partnership. This new debt financing provides non-recourse, non-mark-to-market financing that generates effective interest cost savings of approximately 3.9% per annum compared to our prior variable-rate corporate debt which was secured by the same collateral. We have also successfully extended the term of the financing by approximately nine years,” Rogozinski added.
Investment Portfolio Updates
The Partnership announced the following updates regarding its investment portfolio:

About Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP
Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP was formed in 1998 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily, seniors and student housing properties. The Partnership is pursuing a business strategy of acquiring additional mortgage revenue bonds and other investments on a leveraged basis. The Partnership expects and believes the interest earned on these mortgage revenue bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Partnership seeks to achieve its investment growth strategy by investing in additional mortgage revenue bonds and other investments as permitted by its Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated December 5, 2022 (the “Partnership Agreement”), taking advantage of attractive financing structures available in the securities market, and entering into interest rate risk management instruments. Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP press releases are available at www.ghiinvestors.com.
Safe Harbor Statement
Certain statements in this press release are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by use of statements that include, but are not limited to, phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continue,” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe objectives, plans, or goals also are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Partnership. The Partnership cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in, implied, or projected by such forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: defaults on the mortgage loans securing our mortgage revenue bonds and governmental issuer loans; the competitive environment in which the Partnership operates; risks associated with investing in multifamily, student, senior citizen residential properties and commercial properties; general economic, geopolitical, and financial conditions, including the current and future impact of changing interest rates, inflation, and international conflicts on business operations, employment, and financial conditions; current financial conditions within the banking industry, including the effects of recent failures of financial institutions, liquidity levels, and responses by the Federal Reserve, Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to address these issues; uncertain conditions within the domestic and international macroeconomic environment, including monetary and fiscal policy and conditions in the investment, credit, interest rate, and derivatives markets; adverse reactions in U.S. financial markets related to actions of foreign central banks or the economic performance of foreign economies, including in particular China, Japan, the European Union, and the United Kingdom; the general condition of the real estate markets in the regions in which we operate, which may be unfavorably impacted by increases in mortgage interest rates, slowing economic growth, persistent elevated inflation levels, and other factors; changes in interest rates and credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategies the Partnership may undertake in relation to such changes, and the effect such changes may have on the relative spreads between the yield on investments and cost of financing; persistent inflationary trends, spurred by multiple factors including expansionary monetary and fiscal policy, higher commodity prices, a tight labor market, and low residential vacancy rates, which may result in further interest rate increases and lead to increased market volatility; the Partnership’s ability to access debt and equity capital to finance its assets; current maturities of the Partnership’s financing arrangements and the Partnership’s ability to renew or refinance such financing arrangements; exercising of redemption rights by the holders of the Series A Preferred Units; local, regional, national and international economic and credit market conditions; recapture of previously issued Low Income Housing Tax Credits in accordance with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code; geographic concentration of properties related to investments held by the Partnership; changes in the U.S. corporate tax code and other government regulations affecting the Partnership’s business; and the other risks detailed in the Partnership’s SEC filings (including but not limited to, the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K). Readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements.
If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes or if any of the assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements proves to be incorrect, the developments and future events concerning the Partnership set forth in this press release may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our expectations and beliefs to change. The Partnership assumes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless obligated to do so under the federal securities laws.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures - Cash Available for Distribution
This document refers to Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”), which is identified as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Partnership believes CAD provides relevant information about the Partnership’s operations and is necessary, along with net income, for understanding its operating results. To calculate CAD, the Partnership begins with net income as computed in accordance with GAAP and adjusts for non-cash expenses or income consisting of depreciation expense, amortization expense related to deferred financing costs, amortization of premiums and discounts, fair value adjustments to derivative instruments, provisions for credit and loan losses, impairments on MRBs, GILs, real estate assets and property loans, deferred income tax expense (benefit) and restricted unit compensation expense. The Partnership also deducts Tier 2 income distributable to the General Partner as defined in the Partnership Agreement and distributions and accretion for the Preferred Units. Net income is the GAAP measure most comparable to CAD. There is no generally accepted methodology for computing CAD, and the Partnership’s computation of CAD may not be comparable to CAD reported by other companies. Although the Partnership considers CAD to be a useful measure of the Partnership’s operating performance, CAD is a non-GAAP measure that should not be considered as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table shows the calculation of CAD (and a reconciliation of the Partnership’s net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to CAD) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (all per BUC amounts are presented giving effect to the BUCs Distributions on a retroactive basis for all periods presented):
