Executive Summary
GO Bondholders Assist the Commonwealth - The attached Term Sheet represents an agreement amongst investment
managers holding nearly $5 Bn of GO bonds, issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to defer principal repayment in
order to give the Commonwealth sufficient time to deal with its current liquidity crisis.
Principal Deferment - Through a consensual exchange offer, GO bondholders agree to defer principal repayments for 5
years.
Substantial Savings - This exchange would save the Commonwealth $1.9 Bn in debt service payments over the next 5
years.
New Loan - The transaction also offers [$750 MM] of liquidity upfront through a GO issuance at a reasonable interest rate.
Avoid GO Default - The combination of principal deferment plus [$750 MM] in new funds will help to avoid a July 1 default.
GO Preserved as Future Currency - The Commonwealth will need the GO debt as currency to finance itself in the future.
By avoiding a July 1 default, the Commonwealth will avoid damage to the GO debt that would otherwise impact the
Commonwealths ability to issue GO debt in the future.
