OPTIONAL REDEMPTION The City may elect on August 1, 2028 and on any day thereafter, to redeem Bonds due on or after August 1, 2029. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be redeemed. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in such maturity to be redeemed. All redemptions shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest. SECURITY AND PURPOSE The Bonds will be special obligations of the City payable solely from net revenues of the electric system of the Commission and shall not constitute a debt for which the full faith and credit or taxing powers of the City will be pledged. The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance the remaining cost of acquisition of the Commission's membership interest in the Minnesota Municipal Power Agency (MMPA). BIDDING PARAMETERS Proposals shall be for not less than $9,850,000 plus accrued interest, if any, on the total principal amount of the Bonds. No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals on the Sale Date unless the meeting of the Commission scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned,recessed, or continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 1/100 or 1/8 of 1%. The initial price to the public for each maturity as stated on the proposal must be 98.0% or greater. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be accepted.
