The JAA's members are the City of Ketchikan, the City of Wrangell, the City of Petersburg, Copper Valley Electric Association and Kodiak Electric Association (the "Purchasing Utilities"). Formal negotiations with the Purchasing Utilities for sale of the Projects commenced in the mid- 1990s. Over the intervening years, numerous sale proposals were considered by the parties but were ultimately rejected. Finally, in April 2000, AEA and the Purchasing Utilities entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with respect to the sale of the projects. Among other things, the MOU provided for the following terms: • Sale of the Projects by AEA to a joint action agency to be formed by the Purchasing Utilities. • A purchase price of $73 million. • A $5 million credit in favor of the Purchaser in recognition of the release of certain funds previously appropriated for a low interest loan for construction of an intertie between the Tyee Hydroelectric Project and Ketchikan and repayment of that credit in the event that the intertie is not constructed. • The assumption by the JAA of all risks associated with the Projects and the release by the JAA and Purchasing Utilities of AEA and the State of Alaska with respect to all such risks and all obligations under the existing Power Sales Agreement for the Projects. • Suspension of payments to the State with respect to power received by the Purchasing Utilities from July 1 through December 31, 2001. Board of Directors December 6, 2001 Page 2 • Maintenance of the existing Insurance Agreement for the Projects pending the sale and release of the AEA Insurance Fund upon the consummation of the sale. • Increase of the Purchase Price in the event amounts released from the Insurance Fund and received by AEA for power payments failed to meet a specified threshold amount. As an integral part of the transaction, the MOU required that the State establish a PCE Endowment Fund to provide for long-term funding of the State's Power Cost Equalization Program. The MOU required that all proceeds received from the State from the sale of the Projects, amounts released from the Insurance Fund as part of the sale, and certain other funds be appropriated to the PCE Endowment Fund. The MOU also provided that, as a condition of the sale, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority ("AIDEA") would be authorized to provide purchase financing to the JAA with respect to the sale under terms set forth in the MOU. The MOU specifically required that enabling legislation be enacted to: authorize the sale of the Projects in accordance with the terms set forth in the MOU, establish the PCE Endowment contemplated in the MOU and authorize AIDEA to provide the contemplated purchase financing. Among other things, the closing of the sale was also conditioned upon the approval of the transaction by the AEA Board of Directors, the governing bodies of the various purchasing utilities and the AIDEA Board of Directors as it relates to the financing. The MOU contemplated that following enactment of the enabling legislation, AEA and the Joint Action Agency would enter into a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement which would incorporate the terms of the MOU and other terms and conditions as necessary to consummate the sale of the projects. The Alaska State Legislature and Governor Tony Knowles enacted the required enabling legislation which is set forth in Chapters 60 and 75, SLA 2000 and Chapter 4, SLA 2001 (the "Enabling Legislation"). The Enabling Legislation required that the parties execute an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding and that amendment was executed on May 30, 2000. As contemplated by the MOU, the AEA staff and the representatives of the Four Dam Pool Power Agency have negotiated an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the Four Dam Pool Project (the "Purchase and Sale Agreement") incorporating the terms of the MOU as amended, and other matters necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the MOU. The Purchase and Sale Agreement is attached as Exhibit "A" to Resolution No. 2001-05. Among other things, the Purchase and Sale Agreement provides for detailed procedures for the transfer by AEA to the Joint Action Agency of the Four Dam Pool Project assets, transfer of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") licenses for the Projects to the JAA and other matters typical for the sale of assets. Resolution No. 2001-05 authorizes the Executive Director to enter into the Purchase and Sale Agreement substantially in the form attached to the Resolution, approves the sale of the Four Dam Pool Projects to the JAA in accordance with the terms of the MOU and Purchase and Sale Board of Directors December 6, 2001 Page 3 Agreement, and authorizes the Executive Director to take the actions necessary including the execution of appropriate transfer documents to consummate the transaction. The Joint Action and Purchasing Utilities have begun their procedures for formal approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, purchase financing and acquisition of the Four Dam Pool Project. It is anticipated that each of the Purchasing Utility governing bodies will complete their review and approval process in late January 2002. Upon the final approval by the Purchasing Utilities, the FERC will be in a position to transfer the project licenses from AEA to the JAA and the sale transaction can be consummated. As contemplated in the MOU, the Purchasing Utilities will be required to pay the State for power received from the Project from January 1, 2002, until the date of the closing. Resolution No. 2001-05 requires that the Executive Director enter into appropriate agreements with the JAA andfor Purchasing Utilities to provide for such payments. The sale of the Four Dam Pool Hydroelectric Projects to the communities served by the Projects has long been a goal of AEA. The transaction submitted to the Board for its approval provides fair value to the State for the Projects, relieves the State of significant liabilities and provides local control to the communities served by the Projects. The consummation of the transaction will provide funding to the PCE Endowment Fund ensuring long-term funding for the State's Power Cost Equalization program benefiting rural communities throughout the State. Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2001-05.
