An Assessment District is created by Summit County. The proposed district will include all properties that will directly benefit from the improvements to be constructed. Property taxes paying for the bond are levied only on those directly benefiting from the project. For example, if a special assessment bond is issued to pay for road repairs on a certain street, only the houses and other buildings on that street will pay higher property taxes. Bonds would be issued by Summit County with the security for the bonds being the real property of TCFC and/or subsequent owners. Only lands owned by TCFC or were owned by TCFC where the buyers have already agreed to be included are to be included in the assessment area. 3 Company Introduction and Overview Company History In 2010, Värde invested in TCFC providing the capital to reposition the resort and develop the golf course In 2013, TCFC determined that Canyons should be run by a best in class operator and executed a lease with Vail for the ski and mountain operations Vail leases and controls the skiing and select lodging operations of Canyons Village and Park City Mountain Resort (“PCMR”) for an initial term of 50 years with five renewal terms of 50 years each (300 hundred years) In 2014, Vail purchased the base and operations of PCMR and announced a $50 million capital plan to connect Canyons and PCMR.
