On September 22, 2023 First National Master Note Trust also issued $67,309,000 of Class B Series 2023-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class B Notes”) and $73,719,000 of Class C Series 2023-2 Asset Backed Notes (the “Class C Notes”) to First National Bank of Omaha, a national banking association (“FNBO”) and an affiliate of First National Master Note Trust. The Class B Notes and Class C Notes were offered and sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on the exemption set forth in Section 4(2) of the Act.

 

Use of Proceeds – Class A Notes

 

The public offering of the Class A Notes was made under the Registration Statement and was terminated on September 22, 2023 upon the sale of all of the Class A Notes. The underwriters of the Class A Notes were J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC.

 

During the period from the effective date of the Registration Statement, through the current reporting period, the amount of expenses incurred in connection with the issuance and distribution of the publicly offered and sold Class A Notes with respect to underwriting commissions and discounts was $1,750,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts described in the preceding sentence, the net offering proceeds to the Issuer before expenses for the Class A Notes are $498,172,950. Other expenses, including legal fees and other costs and

 

 

 

 

expenses relating the offer of the Class A Notes, are reasonably estimated to be $525,000 and net proceeds from the sale of the Class A Notes to the Issuer, after deduction of expenses, are reasonably estimated to be $497,647,950.
