Summary of Advantages of Sale of SPSA’s WTE FacilitiesPresented toSPSA Member Communities February 2010
Benefits of Selling WTE Facilities • Reduce SPSA debt by approx. $142 million • Reduce debt service: average 60+% less • Reduce capital expenditures • Cell VII expansion: $30 million • Two new transfer stations: $22 million • Reduce operational expenses • Extend landfill life through diversion of non-processables • Reduce operational risks and complexity – more certainty
SPSA Financial Viability • SPSA system remains unchanged • WTE Facilities owned by Wheelabrator but remains part of SPSA system through the service agreements (i.e. commitment of municipal waste to Wheelabrator) • Suffolk Landfill (SPSA) • Transfer Stations (SPSA) • Other services (SPSA) • Use and Support Agreements valid • Funding of system remains same through the tipping fees
Key VRA Requirements • Member community guarantee of outstanding reduced VRA debt (~$50M) (See slide 6 and 7 for lenders’ positions) • Debt retirement plan • Proportional debt reduction among lenders • Levelized remaining debt service • Inter-creditor agreements among SPSA lenders
Debt Retirement Plan • Options Considered • Pro rata reduction of all debt (Ambac, Wachovia, VRA, and Virginia Beach) – levelize remaining debt service. • Retire all but VRA 2009 bonds and City of Virginia Beach debt (Considered a “non-starter with the VRA and CAO’s), backloads debt service (sinking fund considered) • Pro rata reduction of all but Wachovia debt, which allows for full payback of Virginia Beach loan (note: approach is acceptable to Wachovia)
