The Series 2019B Bonds and Taxable Series 2019C Bonds are collectively referred to in this document as the “Bonds.” The Bonds represent the seventeenth and eighteenth series, respectively, of “Parity Electric Utility Obligations” issued pursuant to City of Austin, Texas (the “City”) Ordinance No. 010118-52A, passed on January 18, 2001, by the City Council of the City (the “City Council”) governing the issuance of the City’s Electric Utility System indebtedness (the “Master Ordinance”) and are authorized and being issued in accordance with Ordinance No. 20190620-080 (the “Seventeenth Supplement”) authorizing the Series 2019B Bonds and Ordinance No. 20190620-079 (the “Eighteenth Supplement”) authorizing the Taxable Series 2019C Bonds, each passed on June 19, 2019, by the City Council. The Seventeenth Supplement and Eighteenth Supplement delegated to a designated “Pricing Officer” the authority to effect the sale of the Bonds, subject to the terms of the Seventeenth Supplement and Eighteenth Supplement. See “INTRODUCTION” in this document. The Master Ordinance provides the terms for the issuance of Parity Electric Utility Obligations and the related covenants and security provisions. The City must comply with the covenants and security provisions relating to the Prior Subordinate Lien Obligations (defined in this document) while they remain outstanding. The Master Ordinance provides that no additional revenue obligations payable from the same sources and secured in the same manner as the Prior Subordinate Lien Obligations shall be issued. Commercial Paper Obligations (defined in this document) currently authorized, having a combined pledge of Net Revenues of the Electric Light and Power System and Water and Wastewater System (the “Combined Utility Systems”), may continue to be issued on a subordinate lien basis to the Parity Electric Utility Obligations. The Bonds are special obligations of the City, payable as to both principal and interest solely from, and together with the outstanding Parity Electric Utility Obligations and Prior Subordinate Lien Bonds, equally and ratably secured only by a lien on and pledge of the Net Revenues of the City’s Electric Utility System as provided in the Master Ordinance, the Seventeenth Supplement for the Series 2019B Bonds and the Eighteenth Supplement for the Taxable Series 2019C Bonds. The taxing powers of the City and the State of Texas are not pledged as security for the Bonds. See “Security for the Bonds” in this document. The definitive Bonds will be issued in fully registered form in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof within a maturity. Interest on the Bonds will accrue from the date of initial delivery and shall be payable on November 15, 2019 and each May 15 and November 15 thereafter until maturity or prior redemption. The Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”). The City reserves the right to discontinue such book-entry system. See “Description of the Bonds” in this document. U.S. Bank National Association will serve as the initial paying agent/registrar (the “Paying Agent/Registrar”) for the Bonds. MATURITY SCHEDULE See “Maturity Schedule” on pages i and ii of this document The City reserves the right, at its option, to redeem the Bonds of either series prior to their scheduled maturity.
