On May 24, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Lower Colorado River Authority ("LCRA") adopted a resolution delegating the authority to an authorized representative of LCRA to approve the issuance of one or more series of bonds in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $300 million for the purposes of (i) refunding certain outstanding debt of LCRA, (ii) funding a debt service reserve fund for such any such bonds and/or (iii) paying costs of issuance for any such bonds.

LCRA currently contemplates utilizing such authority to price one series of fixed rate bonds (the "Series 2023A Bonds") and one series of multi-mode variable rate bonds (the "Series 2023B (Put) Bonds," and together with the Series 2023A Bonds, the “Proposed Bonds”) collectively up to the maximum authorized principal amount of $300 million on June 22, 2023 through a negotiated sale to Barclays Capital Inc. as sole underwriter.

The size, timing, and structure of the potential transaction for the Proposed Bonds is subject to market conditions. LCRA reserves the right to change the timing and size of the sale or not to issue the Proposed Bonds.
