  3. Key AIDEA Programs AIDEA has an extensive portfolio of programs to finance economic development in Alaska. The programs that are most relevant for broadband infrastructure expansion are: Conduit Revenue Bond Project Development Infrastructure Development Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority

  4. Conduit Bond Program • Provides financing where AIDEA acts as a conduit for the issuance of taxable and tax-exempt bonds. • Neither the assets nor credit of AIDEA or the State of Alaska are at risk • The creditworthiness of the project and credit enhancements offered by the applicant are essential to the underwriting and placement of bonds. • The benefit that AIDEA offers is that it is a known entity in the market and may expedite the sale of the bonds in a public offering. • AIDEA can also provide the expertise to issue bonds through a private placement Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority

  5. Project & Infrastructure Development Programs • Objective: • To provide financing for Alaskan projects and infrastructure necessary to support Alaskan economic development. • AIDEA can: • Own all or a part of a project or infrastructure • Invest in a Corporation or Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) that owns the project or infrastructure.

  6. Project & Infrastructure Development Programs • The project must be endorsed by the local government. • The project and its development must be economically advantageous to the state and to the general public welfare. • The project applicant is financially responsible. • The project must be economically and financially feasible and able to produce revenue adequate to repay the investment, bonds or loans with which it is financed.

  7. Project & Infrastructure Development Programs • Flexibility in structuring our financing packages with each deal being unique and requiring its own specific structure. • The final financing package may include several sources of funds and several different financing vehicles including debt, private and public equity, tax credits and incentives, and grants. • Examples of AIDEA project deals include: • Cook Inlet Jack Up Rig • DeLong Mountain Transport System • Skagway Ore Terminal Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority
