NEW ISSUE Ratings: Moody’s: Baa2 S&P: BBB See “RATINGS” herein. In the opinion of Harris Beach PLLC, Bond Counsel to the Authority, based on existing statutes, regulations, court decisions and administrative rulings, and assuming compliance with the tax covenants described herein, interest on the Series G Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Furthermore, Bond Counsel is of the opinion that interest on the Series G Bonds is not an “item of tax preference” for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Interest on the Series G Bonds is, however, included in the computation of “adjusted current earnings” for purposes of calculating the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that, based on existing statutes, interest on the Series G Bonds is excluded from Connecticut taxable income for purposes of the Connecticut income tax on individuals, trusts and estates, and such interest is excluded from amounts on which the net Connecticut minimum tax is based in the cases of individuals, trusts and estates required to pay the federal alternative minimum tax.
