⁽¹⁾ Facility fees have a variable component.

⁽²⁾ The M45 TEBS has an initial interest rate of 3.82% through July 31, 2023. From August 1, 2023 through the stated maturity date, the interest rate is 4.39%. These rates are inclusive of credit enhancement fees payable to Freddie Mac.

⁽¹⁾ Facility fees have a variable component.

⁽²⁾ The M45 TEBS has an initial interest rate of 3.82% through July 31, 2023. From August 1, 2023 through the stated maturity date, the interest rate is 4.39%. These rates are inclusive of credit enhancement fees payable to Freddie Mac.

⁽³⁾ The Partnership has entered into two total return swap transactions with the Secured Notes as the reference security and notional amounts totaling the outstanding principal on the Secured Notes. The total return swaps effectively net down the interest rate on the Secured Notes. Considering the effect of the total return swaps, the effective net interest rate is 4.25% for approximately $40.0 million of the Secured Notes and 1.00% for approximately $63.5 million of the Secured Notes as of December 31, 2020. See Note 18 for further information on the total return swaps.

The TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financing arrangements are consolidated VIEs of the Partnership (Note 5). The Partnership is the primary beneficiary due to its rights to the underlying assets. Accordingly, the Partnership consolidates the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings in the condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for information regarding the MRBs securitized within each TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financing, Note 7 for information regarding the GILs securitized within each TOB Trust financing, Note 10 for information regarding the property loans securitized within each TOB Trust financing and Note 12 for information regarding the taxable GIL securitized within a TOB Trust financing. As the residual interest holder, the Partnership may be required to make certain payments or contribute certain assets to the VIEs if certain events occur. Such events include, but are not limited to, a downgrade in the investment rating of the senior securities issued by the VIEs, a ratings downgrade of the liquidity provider for the VIEs, increases in short term interest rates beyond pre-set maximums, an inability to re-market the senior securities or an inability to obtain liquidity for the senior securities. If such an event occurs in an individual VIE, the underlying collateral may be sold and, if the proceeds are not sufficient to pay the principal amount of the senior securities plus accrued interest and other trust expenses, the Partnership will be required to fund any such shortfall. If the Partnership does not fund the shortfall, the default and liquidation provisions will be invoked against the Partnership. The Partnership has never been, and does not expect in the future, to be required to reimburse the VIEs for any shortfall.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Partnership posted restricted cash as contractually required under the terms of the four TEBS financings. The restricted cash associated with the Secured Notes is collateral posted with Mizuho according to the terms of two total return swaps that have the Secured Notes as the reference security (Note 18). The Partnership may also be required to post collateral, typically in cash, related to the TOB Trusts with Mizuho. The amount of collateral posting required is dependent on the aggregate valuation of the underlying MRBs, taxable MRB, GILs, taxable GIL and property loans in relation to thresholds set by Mizuho. There was no requirement to post collateral for the TOB Trusts with Mizuho as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

The Partnership has entered into various TOB Trust financings with Mizuho secured by MRBs, a taxable MRB, GILs, a taxable GIL, and property loans. The Mizuho TOB Trusts require that the Partnership’s residual interest in the TOB Trusts maintain a certain value in relation to the total assets in each Trust.  In addition, the Master Trust Agreement with Mizuho requires the Partnership’s partners’ capital, as defined, to maintain a certain threshold and that the Partnership remains listed on the NASDAQ.  If the Partnership is not in compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facility would be triggered, which would require the Partnership to purchase a portion or all of the senior interests issued by each TOB Trust.  The Partnership was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2021.

The Term TOB Trust with Morgan Stanley is subject to a Trust Agreement and other related agreements that contain covenants with which the Partnership or the underlying MRB are required to comply.  The underlying property must maintain certain occupancy and debt service covenants. A termination event will occur if the Partnership’s net assets, as defined, decrease by 25% in one quarter or 35% over one year; requires the Partnership’s partners’ capital, as defined, to maintain a certain threshold and that the Partnership remains listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange. If the Partnership is not in compliance with any of these covenants, a termination event of the financing facility would be triggered, which would require the Partnership to purchase a portion or all of the Class A Certificates held by Morgan Stanley.  The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2021.

The Partnership’s variable rate debt financing arrangements include maximum interest rate provisions that prevent the debt service on the debt financings from exceeding the cash flows from the underlying securitized assets.

⁽²⁾ In July 2020, the Partnership extended the maturity date to July 2023.

⁽³⁾ Three TOB Trust financings associated with individual GILs were originated and subsequently collapsed during 2020. The three related GILs were then combined and re-securitized into a single TOB Trust financing in September 2020. The new TOB Trust financing was created to take advantage of lower interest rate spread adjustments compared to the previous TOB Trust financings. The termination of the single-GIL TOB Trust financings were treated as extinguishments for accounting purposes and the Partnership expensed approximately $364,000 of deferred financings costs.

In September 2020, ATAX TEBS Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, issued Secured Notes to Mizuho with an aggregate principal amount of $103.5 million. The Secured Notes are secured by the Partnership’s residual certificates associated with its four TEBS Financings. The Secured Notes bear interest at a variable rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 9.00%, payable monthly. Concurrent with the issuance of the Notes, the Partnership entered into two total return swap transactions with Mizuho to reduce the net interest cost related to the Secured Notes (Note 18). Of the $103.5 million of proceeds from the Secured Notes, approximately $26.0 million was received in cash by the Partnership, and approximately $77.5 million was deposited with Mizuho as collateral for the total return swaps.

Redemptions:

In January 2020, the variable rate TOB Trust financings associated with the PHC Certificates were collapsed and all principal and interest were paid in full in conjunction with the Partnership’s sale of the PHC Certificates to an unrelated party.

In April 2020, the Partnership terminated its Master Trust Agreement and collapsed its Term TOB Trust and all Term A/B Trust financings with Deutsche Bank.  As of the termination, the Partnership is no longer subject to the debt covenants in the Master Trust Agreement.  All outstanding principal and interest related to the Term A/B Trust financings were paid off in full, and the Partnership paid a one-time fee of approximately $454,000 to terminate the trusts.  

The following is a summary of the Deutsche Bank Term A/B Trust and TOB Trust financings that were collapsed and paid off in April 2020:

The following table summarizes the unsecured lines of credit (“LOC” or “LOCs”) as of December 31, 2020:

Unsecured Lines of Credit	Outstanding as of December 31, 2020		Total Commitment		Commitment Maturity	Variable / Fixed	Reset Frequency	Period End Rate

In June 2021, the Partnership and Bankers Trust agreed to terminate the $10 million unsecured operating LOC upon closing of a new $40 million secured LOC with BankUnited, N.A. and Bankers Trust (Note 15).  There was no outstanding principal or accrued interest outstanding as of the termination date.  

In August 2021, the Partnership and Bankers Trust Company (“Bankers Trust”) agreed to terminate the $50 million unsecured non-operating LOC and was replaced with a secured line of credit (Note 15).  There was no outstanding principal on the unsecured non-operating LOC as of the termination date.
