The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be loaned to Great Lakes Senior Living Communities LLC, a Delaware single member limited liability company, an affiliate, subsidiary or a to-be-formed limited liability company related thereto (the “Borrower”) and used to finance all or a portion of certain “Projects,” which consist of: (i) financing or refinancing the costs of the acquisition, improvement, equipping, renovation or other expenditures with respect to certain qualified residential rental facilities constituting supportive living facilities, including without limitation not more than $47,300,000 proceeds of the Bonds to be allocated to the senior living community known as “Independence Village of Waterstone” located at 701 Market St., Oxford, Michigan, which contains approximately 145 units (the “Independence Village of Waterstone Project’); (ii) funding any required reserve funds; (iii) paying capitalized interest on the Bonds, if any, (iv) funding working capital, if any, and (v) paying costs of issuance of the Bonds. All or a substantial portion of the Bonds are expected to be issued as qualified “501(c)(3) bonds” pursuant to Section 145 of the Code. The Borrower will own the Projects and Senior Village Management LLC will manage the Projects. The single member of the Borrower is Provident Resources Group, Inc., a nonprofit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Georgia.
The Bonds will be special limited obligations of AZIDA payable solely from the loan repayments to be made by the Borrower and certain funds and accounts and assets to be established by the indenture of trust for the Bonds. The proposed Bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness or pledge of the Township within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, and the owners of the proposed Bonds shall not be paid in whole or in part out of any funds raised or to be raised by taxation or any other revenues of the Township.
