The Bonds will be issued by the Capital Trust Authority (the “CTA”), a legal entity duly created and a public agency duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Florida, which is empowered under the Constitution and other laws of the State of Florida to issue revenue bonds for the purpose of providing funds to finance or refinance, including through reimbursement, projects such as the Project.
The Bonds will be issued to provide funds to be loaned by the CTA to Alpha Lifestyle Partners, Inc., a Delaware non-profit corporation and an organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (“Alpha”), and/or one or more related and/or affiliated entities of Alpha (each of which will be an entity whose separate existence from its sole member, Alpha, is disregarded for tax purposes) (together with Alpha, the “Borrowers”), for the purpose of financing, including through reimbursement, (i) the acquisition, improvement, and/or equipping of the senior living facilities described below (collectively, the “Facilities”); (ii) the renovation and improvement of the Facilities, if deemed necessary or desirable; (iii) the funding of a debt service reserve fund for the Bonds, if deemed necessary or desirable; (iv) the funding of capitalized interest for the Bonds, if deemed necessary or desirable; (v) the payment of certain costs of issuing the Bonds; and (vi) the payment or funding of certain working capital expenditures relating to the Facilities and approved by the CTA (collectively, the “Project”).
