The Converted 36A/36B Bonds were initially issued on May 8, 2008 pursuant to Commission Resolution No. 91­0210, adopted on December 3, 1991 (the “1991 Resolution”), as amended and supplemented (the “1991 Master Resolution”). The San Francisco International Airport (the “Airport”) is a department of the City. The Commission is responsible for the operation and management of the Airport. See “SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.” Recent federal legislation allows state and local government issuers, including the Commission, to convert certain outstanding bonds the interest on which is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax to bonds, the interest on which is not subject to such tax, thereby resulting in debt service savings. The Commission is therefore causing the mandatory tender for purchase of its outstanding Issue 36A Bonds (the “Tendered 36A Bonds”) and its outstanding Issue 36B Bonds (the “Tendered 36B Bonds” and together with the Tendered 36A Bonds, the “Tendered 36A/36B Bonds”) previously issued by the Commission. Proceeds of the remarketing of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds will be used, together with other available moneys, to pay the purchase price of the Tendered 36A/36B Bonds upon the mandatory tender thereof by the holders for purchase. See “PLAN OF FINANCE.” The payment of the principal (but not purchase price) of and interest on all Bonds issued or to be issued pursuant to the 1991 Master Resolution, including the Converted 36A/36B Bonds, are equally secured by a pledge of, lien on and security interest in the Net Revenues (as defined herein) of the Airport. The Converted 36A/36B Bonds are being remarketed in a Weekly Mode during which period such Converted 36A/36B Bonds will bear interest at a Weekly Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent, as described herein.

Purchasers of beneficial ownership interests will not receive certificates representing their interests in the Converted 36A/36B Bonds. So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to the registered owners shall mean Cede & Co., and shall not mean the Beneficial Owners of the Converted 36A/36B Bonds.
