Concurrently, $72 million of Taxable Series 2009A BABs will be redeemed at closing pursuant to extraordinary optional redemption provisions to create additional new-money capacity. Despite a high-supply week ($15.6 billion, 4th largest year-to-date in 2025) with numerous competing offerings (three other $1.5 billion+ issuances), Loop’s underwriting desk set the market tone for the week. The transaction received significant investor participation resulting in 4.3x subscription, with 90 unique accounts placing orders, of which 56 accounts were new investors, and 34 accounts were repeat buyers. As a result of strong investor interest, spreads were tightened by up to 8 basis points between pre-pricing and final pricing, resulting in the tightest spreads achieved over the past ten years when compared to other issues on both TxDOT’s Mobility Fund and Highway Improvement credits. Ultimately, the transaction achieved an All-In TIC of 3.783%, and NPV Savings of $106.922 million, or 12.830% of refunded par.

On September 11, 2025, Loop Capital Markets served as Senior Manager on the Board of Education of the City of Chicago’s (the “Board”) $650 million Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bonds (Dedicated Revenues), Series 2025A (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are rated BB+ (Stable) and BBB (Negative) by S&P and Kroll, respectively. Proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance the continued implementation of the Board’s capital improvement program, fund capitalized interest, and pay costs of issuance on the Bonds.
The Bonds were the Board’s first issuance since 2023 and came on the heels of a contentious budget process that garnered national media attention. The Firm structured the Bonds as term bonds maturing in 2050 with bifurcated coupons – 5.75% (discount) and 6.25% (premium), wrapping around existing debt service with a 10-year par call. Leading up to the week of pricing, poor labor market data caused a rally in credit markets with investors expecting the Fed to cut rates during the September 16th FOMC meeting.
Loop Capital Markets assisted the Board in creating a comprehensive electronic investor roadshow, which was viewed by 44 unique investors. The Firm also coordinated one-on-one investor calls between the Board and 23 prospective investors, of which 13 submitted orders. The Firm provided the Board with a detailed read sheet summarizing investor engagement and participation potential.
The Firm generated over $2.7 billion in priority orders. Given the strong results of the order period, the Firm was able to tighten spreads by 5 bps between pre-pricing and final pricing on both term bonds. Ultimately, the transaction achieved an All-In TIC of 5.949% with an average life of 23.768 years.
