    PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JUNE 12, 2018 NEW ISSUE – BOOK ENTRY ONLY RATING: Moody’s: Ba1 (Stable Outlook) (See Ratings herein) In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under existing statutes, regulations and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations, although in the case of corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes) such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for purposes of such alternative minimum tax. This opinion of Bond Counsel is subject to continuing compliance by the Authority with its covenants in the Resolution and other documents to comply with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and applicable regulations thereunder. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as presently enacted and construed, the Bonds are exempt from personal property taxes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the interest on the Bonds is exempt from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Corporate Net Income Tax. The Bonds have been designated as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” by the Authority, for the purposes and with the effect contemplated by Section 265 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (relating to expenses and interest relating to tax-exempt income of certain financial institutions). For further information concerning federal and state tax matters relating to the Bonds, see “TAX MATTERS” herein.
