Part I discusses the settlement generally, and its intended effect on the U.S. tobacco market. Parts II through IV discuss the unintended consequences of the settlement.' Part II considers how states got into their current disar- ray, and how a perceived state windfall of billions of dollars ended up put- ting states on what by all accounts now appears to be very real risk of insol- vency. Part III examines how the major tobacco companies are using the states' dire financial condition to stifle tribal sovereignty and Indian indus- try. Part IV analyzes the federal government's role in similar oppressive tactics. The concluding section suggests lessons that might be learned from the MSA.

Municipal Relative Value VII. Municipal Bond Index VIII. The Lehman Advantage IV. Municipal Contacts 1 I. The Basics of Municipal Bonds Municipal Asset Class ! Asset Preservation – Municipal assets are widely considered the safest fixed- income asset class, save Treasuries, boasting a 10-year cumulative default rate of 0.1032% since 1970, versus 9.70% for corporate bonds (Moody’s). Approximately 70% of the market is AAA rated. ! Income Stream – Municipal securities range in maturity from daily floaters to bonds maturing out 40 years and longer. Portfolios can be constructed to provide specific tax-exempt cash flows. ! Tax Advantage – Investors often under appreciate the value of tax savings. During 2006, long AAA municipal securities traded between 85% - 95% of the 30-year U.S. Treasury. Consequently, investors in the highest tax bracket could have earned as much as 145% of Treasuries on a tax adjusted basis. ! Lower Volatility – Tax-exempt yield movements lag the Treasury market. Muted municipal yield movements result in stability of investment capital. ! Correlation – Municipal risk is typically less correlated to the core risk in taxable investment portfolios. 2 Tax Status of Fixed Income Assets ! The interest received on all municipal securities is exempt from the Federal income tax. Investors who purchases municipal securities indigenous to their state of residence are often exempt from state and local taxes as well (although a few states do tax in-state municipal bonds).

  • Ash Park on Tobacco & Transformation
    Ash Park on Tobacco & Transformation Tobacco is a controversial industry, and our performance in recent years has felt the negative effects of selling driven at least in part by the rising popularity of ESG investing. We think engagement delivers far better long-term outcomes for all stakeholders compared to divestment, hence our participation in consultations for the Tobacco Transformation Index and regular dialogue with a wide variety of industry and public health protagonists. For the second time in our careers, Tobacco valuations have been driven to extreme and illogical levels: credit markets will lend at 40 years for less than 4%, but the equity is so lowly-rated that a number of companies could buy themselves back in 8-9 years. In reality, the financial attractions of the Tobacco business model haven’t been impaired; we have written to the boards of our Tobacco holdings to highlight the ‘self-help’ opportunity and very considerable value they could create via share repurchases – if necessary by rebasing the dividend payout ratio, at least temporarily. We have equally high conviction that the industry, by accelerating the consumer shift into tobacco and nicotine products which are far less dangerous than cigarettes, can contribute to enormous public health gains in the next 10-20 years. The Ash Park proposition Global Staples have never lost money in any 5yr period • Concentrated portfolio of high-quality consumer franchises 40% • Attractive long-term returns with lower downside risk 35% 30% • Managed by experts in the Consumer industry 25% • Team co-invested with over 90% of their available assets 20% 15% 10% What Ash Park stands for 5% 1.

    Michael L. Fitzgerald, Treasurer of State REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS LEAD MANAGING AND CO-MANAGER UNDERWRITERS TOBACCO SETTLEMENT ASSET-BACKED BONDS ISSUING OFFICE State of Iowa Treasurer’s Office Issued on January 22, 2021 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In 2000, the General Assembly enacted HF 2579 creating the Tobacco Settlement Authority (the “Authority” or “TSA”) in order to provide the framework to allow for the securitization of payments stemming from the 1998 Master Settlement Agreement. During the 2001 legislative session, SF 532 was approved, which authorized the securitization of the Tobacco Settlement Revenues (“TSRs”) and the subsequent sale by the State of 100% of the TSRs to the Authority. In October of 2001 the Authority issued $644,245,000 of Series 2001 Tobacco Settlement Asset-Backed Bonds (the “Series 2001 Bonds”) comprising $604,245,000 of tax-exempt bonds and $40,000,000 of taxable bonds. Seventy-eight percent (78.0%) of the available TSRs was pledged for the repayment of the Series 2001 Bonds. On November 30, 2005, the TSA issued $831,962,030 of Series 2005 Tobacco Settlement Asset- Backed Bonds (the “Series 2005 Bonds”) in order to fully refund the outstanding Series 2001 Bonds, of which $609,052,030 were tax-exempt and $222,910,000 were taxable. The Authority is a body both corporate and politic, created for the sole purpose of purchasing and receiving any assignment of the TSRs and issuing obligations to fund that purchase. The Authority is comprised of three members: the Treasurer of State, the Auditor of State and the Director of the Department of Management.

Spring Street Springfield, IL 62706 Dear Mr. Hovis: Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) and Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc. (“Ramirez”) are pleased to submit a joint response to the Railsplitter Tobacco Settlement Authority’s (“Railsplitter” or the “Authority”) Request for Proposals for Senior Managing Underwriter. Goldman Sachs and Ramirez (the “Firms” or the “Team”) are committed to serving the Authority with an experienced group of professionals who will leverage the vast resources of both firms to deliver an extensive marketing process and seamless execution. This cover letter and accompanying proposal respond specifically to your listed requirements including the individuals that will be assigned to executing your transaction and their “tobacco securitization” experience, the Firms’ expertise, the marketing of your transaction, time line and capital resources. We believe that the State has placed the correct scoring emphasis in your response categories on the personnel assigned to this transaction (75 points) and the transaction marketing (75 points) totaling 150 points. In contrast, the other three concerns total only 100 points. We agree with this emphasis due to the significant changes that have occurred over the last several years in both the firms that transact municipal underwriting assignments and their personnel. Given the maturity of the tobacco securitization sector, credit, structuring and security issues (banking) are now well understood and have taken a “back seat” to marketing.

  • U.S. State Tobacco Settlement Revenue Securitizations
    U.S. State Tobacco Settlement Revenue Securitizations Joshua Cain The Leonard N. Stern School of Business Glucksman Institute for Research in Securities Markets Faculty Advisor: Robert Whitelaw April 3, 2017 1 I. INTRODUCTION Tobacco settlement securitizations, also known as tobacco bonds, are a class of securities backed by the ongoing payments from a 1998 civil settlement with U.S. tobacco companies. States began to issue these bonds in 2000, and, as the market for them matured, twenty states and territories (as well as some counties and cities in certain states), executed securitization transactions. Bloomberg quoted the size of this market as $34 billion as of May 2016. (Chappatta, 2016) Today, many of these bonds are distressed, with bond ratings well into non-investment grade, or "junk", territory. The underlying reason for this is relatively simple: the settlement payments that back the bonds have been significantly lower than forecasted, mostly due to faster declines in cigarette consumption than the forecasts assumed. However, the credit outlook varies widely from bond to bond. In 2015, for example, Moody's announced ratings actions on a number of tobacco bonds, issuing both upgrades and downgrades. (Moody's Global Credit Research, 2015) The ratings issued ranged all the way from Aaa (sf) (Moody's highest category for structured finance) to Caa1 (sf) (seven notches below investment-grade). Since all tobacco settlement securitizations are backed by the same underlying cash flow, differences in structure, mainly those that affect coverage and seniority/payment priority, are the primary source of this variance in credit quality. Clearly, the relative aggressiveness and complexity of different tobacco bonds has had a real effect on their economics.
