Proceeds of the 2025 Taxable Bonds will be used, along with Corporation equity, to finance a 100-bed long-term care and skilled nursing facility (the Project) on the San Carlos Apache Tribe’s reservation, located ~130 miles east of Phoenix, Arizona. The Project will be adjacent to the Corporation’s 12-bed critical access hospital, enabling members of the San Carlos Apache Tribe (the Tribe) to receive culturally sensitive care and remain close to loved ones.

KBCM assisted the Corporation in securing an ‘A-’ credit rating from Fitch Ratings, supporting the marketing of the 2025 Taxable Bonds. This credit rating is believed to be the first ever for a tribal healthcare operator in the lower 48 states, and one of the highest ever credit ratings for a Native American tribe or tribally chartered corporation. This financing arrangement is distinguished by the absence of a guaranty from any other party and lack of security from sources other than the revenue and assets of the Corporation’s Health System. This structure may help pave the way for other tribes’ health systems and tribally chartered corporations to issue debt secured solely by health system revenues, facilitating future capital projects. Further, the terms of the 2025 Taxable Bonds allow the Corporation to issue additional debt without lender consent if certain financial covenants are met. After seven years, the Bonds can be called at par. Once operational, the Project is eligible to enter a Section 105(l) lease with the Indian Health Services to receive reimbursements for Project costs, including bond debt service.
