NEW ISSUE—BOOK ENTRY ONLY RATINGS: Moody’s: “Aa3” S&P: “AA-” Fitch: “AA-” (See “RATINGS” herein) In the opinion of Co-Bond Counsel under existing laws, regulations and judicial decisions, interest on the 2008A Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, in the opinion of Co-Bond Counsel, interest on the 2008A Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. However, with respect to corporations (as defined for federal income tax purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. Furthermore, in the opinion of Co-Bond Counsel, under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as presently enacted and construed, the 2008A Bonds are exempt from personal property taxes in Pennsylvania and interest on the 2008A Bonds is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax and from Pennsylvania corporate net income tax. Co-Bond Counsel’s opinion is subject to continuing compliance with tax covenants contained in the Bond Indenture and the Agreement to satisfy certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (See “TAX EXEMPTION AND OTHER TAX MATTERS”). $490,825,000 ALLEGHENY COUNTY HOSPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH MEDICAL CENTER REVENUE BONDS SERIES 2008A DATED: Date of Delivery MATURITY: As shown herein The 2008A Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds, and shall initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York that will act as securities depository for the 2008A Bonds.
