SUPPLEMENT to OFFICIAL STATEMENT Relating To

SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT relating to REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (FLORIDA) (Located in Orange and Osceola Counties) $165,500,000 AD VALOREM TAX BONDS, SERIES 2016A This Supplement (the "Supplement") provides information amendatory and supplemental to the Official Statement, dated June 22, 2016 (as herein supplemented, the "Official Statement"), relating to the Bonds described above. This Supplement must be read in conjunction with the Official Statement. All capitalized terms used in this Supplement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Official Statement. This Supplement should not be separated from the Official Statement, and neither this Supplement nor the Official Statement should be relied upon in any way independently of each other. The Official Statement is hereby supplemented as follows: The following paragraph is added as the last paragraph of the Section entitled "Litigation": Walt Disney Parks and Resorts US, Inc., and Disney Vacation Development, Inc. (collectively, the “Disney Plaintiffs”) have filed ten lawsuits in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit for Orange County, Florida naming the District, the property appraiser and tax collector of Orange County, Florida in their respective official capacities and the executive director of the Florida Department of Revenue in his official capacity, as defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Disney Plaintiffs challenge the valuation of several commercial parcels, including but not limited to, the Grand Floridian Resort, the Polynesian Resort, the Contemporary Resort, the Animal Kingdom Lodge, the Wilderness Lodge Resort, the Disney Yacht & Beach Club Resort, the Magic Kingdom Theme Park, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach, Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon, Port Orleans Resort, Coronado Springs Resort, Caribbean Beach Resort, Pop Century Resort, Art of Animation Resort, Boardwalk Resort, Disney administrative offices, and vacant land (collectively, the “Disney Parcels”), and contest the legality and validity of the 2015 ad valorem tax assessments on the Disney Parcels. The Disney Plaintiffs paid the assessments in full on the Disney Parcels. The Disney Plaintiffs initiated proceedings for review by the VAB, which VAB issued a final ruling on April 17, 2016 reducing the market value of a portion of the Disney Parcels by $26,180,479. Due to the VAB adjustments being to market value only, the VAB ruling had no effect on the assessed value of the Disney Parcels. In its lawsuits, Disney Plaintiffs claim that despite the adjustment, the value of each of the assessments on all of the Disney Parcels does not represent the just value of the Disney parcels because it exceeds the fair market value thereof and claims that the appraiser included the value of certain intangible property in the assessment in violation of law. Disney Plaintiffs have requested that the court set aside the 2015 assessments and resulting taxes to the extent they exceed the just value of such property and issue a new tax bill in said reassessed amounts. The District anticipates an adjustment to the tax collections for fiscal year 2016. However, the District cannot predict the outcome of these cases. Even in the event that the Disney Plaintiffs are successful and the assessed and/or market value of all or a portion of the Disney Parcels is adjusted downward, the District does not believe that any adverse outcome will have a material adverse effect on the District’s finances or operations or on the District’s ability to pay debt service on the Series 2016A Bonds. REEDY CREEK IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT The date of this Supplement is July 6, 2016. NEW ISSUE BOOK ENTRY ONLY RATINGS: Moody's: Aa3 (stable outlook) Fitch: AA- (stable outlook) S&P: AA- (stable outlook) See "RATINGS" herein In the opinion of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., Bond Counsel, assuming continuing compliance with certain tax covenants, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Series 2016A Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. However, see "TAX EXEMPTION" for a description of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and certain other federal tax consequences of ownership of the Series 2016A Bonds. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that the Series 2016A Bonds and the interest thereon are not subject to taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, as amended, on interest, income or profits on debt obligations owned by corporations as defined therein.
