It should be used in conjunction with the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to provide additional detailed information concerning the County’s financial operations and indebtedness. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and this Bond Disclosure Supplement serve to fulfill the annual reporting requirements of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c2-12. That rule sets standards for the provision of information to County bondholders and potential purchasers of such securities in the secondary market, dealers, security analysts, rating agencies, and other interested parties. Since the SEC Rule’s 1995 effective date, the County has entered into undertakings in conjunction with each new issuance of bonded debt. Each undertaking commits the County to provide annual financial information and operating data concerning the County, consistent with certain financial information and operating data found in the respective bond official statements. This information, together with audited financial statements of the County, must be electronically filed with the Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) system of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board by June 1 following the end of each fiscal year that bonds remain outstanding. This Bond Disclosure Supplement provides updated information relative to County bonded debt that would normally be included in the official statements, including outstanding bond issues that pre-date the SEC Rule. We bring to your attention that the insured ratings included in this Bond Disclosure Supplement take into account previous rating downgrades of certain insurers by the rating agencies and reflect the ratings on the bonds only as of the date of this correspondence. Such ratings are subject to change at any time by the rating agencies and an explanation of the significance of such ratings may only be obtained from the applicable rating agencies. Local government should strive for full disclosure in communicating its financial story. This Bond Disclosure Supplement is intended to encourage confidence and interest in Orange County from citizens and the investment community.
