Adjustment to Principal Amounts The preliminary aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and the preliminary principal amount of each annual payment on the Bonds as set forth in this Notice of Sale (the “Preliminary Aggregate Principal Amount” and the “Preliminary Principal Amount” of each annual payment, respectively; collectively, the “Preliminary Amounts”) may be revised before the receipt of electronic bids for their purchase. ANY SUCH REVISIONS made prior to the receipt of electronic bids (the “Revised Aggregate Principal Amount” and the “Revised Principal Amount” of each annual payment, respectively; collectively, the “Revised Amounts”) WILL BE PUBLISHED ON THOMSON MUNICIPAL MARKET MONITOR (“TM3”) (www.TM3.com) NOT LATER THAN 4:00 p.m. (LOCAL TAMPA, FLORIDA TIME) ON THE LAST BUSINESS DAY PRIOR TO THE DATE OF SALE. In the event that no such revisions are made, the Preliminary Amounts will constitute the Revised Amounts. Bidders shall submit bids based on the Revised Amounts and the Revised Amounts will be used to compare bids and select a winning bidder. As promptly as reasonably possible after the bids are received, the Issuer will notify the bidder to whom the Bonds will be awarded, if and when such award is made, and such bidder, upon such notice, shall advise the Issuer of the initial reoffering prices to the public of each maturity of the Bonds (the “Initial Reoffering Prices”). Such Initial Reoffering Prices, among other things, will be used by the Issuer to calculate the final principal amount of each annual payment on the Bonds (the “Final Aggregate Principal Amount” and the “Final Principal Amount” of each annual payment, respectively; collectively, the “Final Amounts”) to accommodate the refunding objectives of the Issuer. The Final Aggregate Principal Amount of the Bonds will not be reduced or increased by more than 15% from the Revised Aggregate Principal Amount. THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER MAY NOT WITHDRAW ITS BID OR CHANGE THE INTEREST RATES BID OR THE INITIAL REOFFERING PRICES AS A RESULT OF ANY CHANGES MADE TO THE REVISED AMOUNTS. The dollar amount bid by the successful bidder will be adjusted to reflect changes in the dollar amount of the underwriter’s 2 discount and the original issue discount/premium, if any, but will not change the selling compensation per $1,000 of par amount of the Bonds from the selling compensation that would have been received based on the purchase price for the Bonds in the winning bid and the Initial reoffering Prices. The Final Amounts will be communicated to the successful bidder as soon as possible, but not later than 3:00 P.M. the day after awarding the Bonds. Term Bond Option Bidders may designate in their proposal two or more consecutive annual principal payments as a term bond, which matures on the maturity date of the last annual principal payment of the sequence. Any term bond so designated shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in each annual period on the principal payment date and in the entire principal amount for each annual principal payment designated for inclusion in such term bond. There is no limitation on the number of term bonds. Optional Redemption The Bonds maturing on or before January 1, 2025 are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after January 1, 2026 are subject to redemption prior to their maturity at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part on any date on or after January 1, 2025, and if in part, in such manner as determined by the Trustee, at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed without redemption premium, plus accrued interest to the date set for redemption.

Stevens: The Railroad Depot: A Photographic Essay THE RAILROAD DEPOT: A PHOTO ESSAY by R. Randolph Stevens From 1830 through the 1950s railroads were the tie, the sinew, that bound our country together. Pioneers first traveled by using the lakes and streams. Eventually, roads were cut, canals dug, and finally track was laid to connect the seaboard towns and cities with the interior of the country. This transportation revolution had little effect on Florida until after the Civil War when two Yankee railroad builders, Henry Bradley Plant and Henry Morrison Flagler changed the landscape of central and south Florida. Their investments and foresight brought ribbons of track down the west and east coasts over the next few years, sparking an economic boom. In 1883, Plant’s South Florida Railroad came into Tampa, and the west coast began to grow in earnest. Before long twin rails extended down to Venice, Boca Grande, Naples and Everglades City.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lashonda Curry 727-896-266, ext. 236 813-447-1752 (c) [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos Brings to Life Epic Literary Work A series by the late, prominent Ybor City artist features larger-than-life paintings inspired by Dante’s Inferno ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2019) – One of Tampa Bay’s best-known artists, Theo Wujcik (1936-2014), spent a decade creating a series drawn from the dark and profound literary classic, Dante’s Inferno. Now, those extraordinary paintings are the theme for Theo Wujcik: Cantos, a special exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and inspired by two works in its collection. Gates of Hell (1987) and Canto II (1997) are centered around Inferno, the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). The painting Gates of Hell was acquired by the MFA in 2017, but has never been publicly shown at a museum in the Tampa Bay area until now. Other art institutions that own Wujcik’s work include the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view April 13 through June 2, 2019. Addressing select cantos from the poem, the 10 paintings on view—many of them epically scaled— range from 1987–1997, and showcase Wujcik’s literal and symbolic interpretation of the captivating journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Many artists have been inspired by the moral drama of Dante’s Inferno, including English poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827) and French illustrator Gustave Doré (1832–1883).
