Per the 2020 Financial Forecast included with the Series 2020 Senior and Subordinate Bonds Offering documents, Subordinate Pledged Revenue will not be sufficient to repay in full the principal and interest on the Subordinate Bonds by December 2060. Consequently, projected property tax revenue through December 2060 will not be sufficient to make any payments towards the Second Subordinate Bonds.

Issuance of the Second Subordinate Bonds was approved by the District’s board, all of whom were employees of the District’s largest contractor, Century at Mayfield, LLC. The Second Subordinate Bonds were purchased by Century Communities Investments, LLC, a company controlled by the same ownership group that owns and controls Century at Mayfield, LLC.
