The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to make a loan to Richard Wright Public Charter School (the “Borrower”). The loan will be used to finance, refinance or reimburse the Borrower for certain costs of: (1) refinancing of certain existing indebtedness, the proceeds of which were used to finance or refinance the costs of the acquisition and renovation of the Borrower’s approximately 11,000 square foot public charter school facility located at 475 School Street, SW, Washington, DC, 20024 (the “Facility”); (2) funding the construction, equipping and renovation of the Facility; (3) funding certain working capital costs, to the extent financeable relating to the Bonds; (4) funding interest on the Bonds and any credit enhancement costs, liquidity costs or debt service reserve fund relating to the Bonds; and (5) paying cost of issuance and other related costs to the extent permissible relating to the Bonds.
The Facility will be owned by the Borrower. The Facility will be used by the Borrower in connection with its educational purposes. The Bonds will be special, limited obligations of the District payable from loan payments received from the Borrower and other amounts pledged therefor.
