Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

2024 PFA Securitization Transaction

On October 31, 2024, Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP (the “Partnership”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, ATAX TEBS II, LLC (the “Sponsor”), entered into various agreements relating to a new long-term financing facility (the “2024 PFA Securitization Transaction”) which provided funding for the Sponsor’s partial interests in 14 mortgage revenue bonds (the “Underlying Bonds”). Upon closing, the Sponsor received gross proceeds of approximately $75.4 million, of which approximately $1.2 million was used to pay transaction-related costs.

The Wisconsin Public Financing Authority (the “Authority”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) created the 2024 PFA Securitization Transaction. The Sponsor then sold 14 custodial receipts representing senior interests in the Underlying Bonds (the “Custodial Receipts”) to the Authority. The Authority then issued 2024-1 Class A Affordable Housing Multifamily Certificates (the “Class A Certificates”) in the stated amount of approximately $75.4 million to fund the Authority's acquisition of the Custodial Receipts. The Class A Certificates were purchased by Jefferies LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”) which then sold the Class A Certificates to unaffiliated investors.

For financial reporting purposes, the Class A Certificates are considered a secured financing of the Partnership. Debt service on the Class A Certificates is payable from the cash flows due on the Custodial Receipts from the Underlying Bonds. The holders of the Class A Certificates are entitled to interest at a fixed rate of 4.10% per annum, payable monthly, and all principal payments on the Custodial Receipts until the stated amount of the Class A Certificates is reduced to zero. The Trustee is entitled to a trustee fee equal to 0.03% per annum payable from the cash flows of the Custodial Receipts. The Partnership is also responsible for paying credit enhancement and servicing fees totaling 0.77% per annum related to the Custodial Receipts. The Sponsor is entitled to any excess cash flow from the 2024 PFA Securitization Transaction, though such amounts are unlikely to be material as the rate on the Custodial Receipts was set to mirror the interest due on the Class A Certificates.

The term of the Class A Certificates will end at the earlier of (i) repayment of the entire stated amount of the Class A Certificates, and (ii) the redemption of the last remaining Custodial Receipt.

At closing, the Partnership was designated as the administrator (“Administrator”) of the 2024 PFA Securitization Transaction, which gives the Partnership certain rights and responsibilities. The Administrator will be paid an administrator fee of 0.07% per annum, however, no administrator fee is payable so long as the Partnership or an affiliate of the Partnership is the Administrator.

The following is a brief description of the principal agreements affecting the rights and obligations of the Partnership in connection with the 2024 PFA Securitization Transaction. Each of the following documents is dated as of October 31, 2024, is attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. Each such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the document so described.

Portfolio Purchase Agreement

Under the Portfolio Purchase Agreement between the Sponsor and the Authority, the Sponsor sold the Custodial Receipts to the Authority for the purchase price of approximately $75.4 million. Upon closing, the Authority delivered to the Sponsor $74.2 million in cash, which represents the gross proceeds from the sale of the Class A Certificates less transaction-related expenses of $1.2 million. The Portfolio Purchase Agreement contains various representations by the Authority and the Sponsor. The Portfolio Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Trust Agreement

Under the Trust Agreement, the Authority issued the Class A Certificates which are payable solely from the distributions on the Custodial Receipts. The Trust Agreement includes all of the terms of the Class A Certificates, including, but not limited to: (i) actions, consents and voting with respect to the Custodial Receipts; (ii) distributions of cash flows; (iii) various income tax matters; (iv) the duties of the Administrator; and (v) the rights and responsibilities of the Trustee. The Trust Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Administration Agreement

The Administration Agreement between the Partnership, the Trustee, and the Authority formally engages the Administrator and restates the obligations of the Administrator set out in the Trust Agreement including certain reporting requirements. Specifically, the Administration Agreement gives the Administrator the obligation to make all normal business decisions and give any directions which

 


 

may be requested in connection with the Class A Certificates. The Administration Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.

An Official Statement has been posted related to the sale of the Class A Certificates and is publicly available on the Electronic Municipal Market Access site under the “Disclosure Documents” section at the following website address: https://emma.msrb.org/Security/Details/A6E6905B277BCC8976BDE0ABC0FE8E718.
