BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM

The following information concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from DTCand contains statements that are believed to describe accurately DTC, the method of effecting book-entry transfersof securities distributed through DTC and certain related matters, but neither the Corporation nor the Registrarand Paying Agent takes any responsibility for the accuracy of such statements.

The Bonds initially will be issued solely in book-entry form to be held in the book-entry-only systemmaintained by The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York. So long as such book-entry systemis used, only DTC will receive or have the right to receive physical delivery of Bonds and, except as otherwiseprovided herein with respect to tenders by Beneficial Owners of Beneficial Ownership Interests, Beneficial Owners

1

Page 6: FINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED DECEMBER 19, 2017 NEW …

will not be or be considered to be, and will not have any rights as, owners or holders of the Bonds under theResolution.

DTC will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securitiesregistered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by anauthorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of Bonds,each in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.

DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New YorkBanking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the FederalReserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a"clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTCholds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate andmunicipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 85 countries that DTC's participants ("DirectParticipants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of salesand other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers andpledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securitiescertificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trustcompanies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TheDepository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participantsof DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Government Securities Clearing Corporation,MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC,also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC,and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others suchas both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clearthrough or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("IndirectParticipants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants areon file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which willreceive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Bond("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Ownerswill not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected toreceive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfersof ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and IndirectParticipants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing theirownership interests in Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered inthe name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorizedrepresentative of DTC. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or suchother DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actualBeneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accountssuch Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants willremain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants toIndirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed byarrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices ofsignificant events with respect to the Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments tothe Bond documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding theBonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, BeneficialOwners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and Paying Agent and request that copiesof notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Bonds within a maturity are being redeemed,DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such maturity to beredeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Bondsunless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC

2

Page 7: FINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED DECEMBER 19, 2017 NEW …

mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Corporation as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assignsCede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Bonds are credited on therecord date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments on the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., orsuch other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit DirectParticipants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Corporation orthe Registrar and Paying Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC'srecords. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customarypractices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "streetname" and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC or its nominee, the Registrar and PayingAgent or the Corporation, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and interest payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as maybe requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Corporation or the Registrar andPaying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, anddisbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by givingreasonable notice to the Corporation or the Registrar and Paying Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event thata successor depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

The Corporation may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or asuccessor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered.

NEITHER THE CORPORATION NOR THE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANYRESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT, INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OR ANYBENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON NOT SHOWN ON THE REGISTRATION BOOKS OFTHE REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT AS BEING A HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO: (1) THE BONDS;(2) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT ORINDIRECT PARTICIPANT; (3) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECTPARTICIPANT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER IN RESPECT OF THE PURCHASEPRICE OF TENDERED BONDS OR THE PRINCIPAL OR REDEMPTION PRICE OF OR INTEREST ON THEBONDS; (4) THE DELIVERY BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANT OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANT OF ANYNOTICE TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WHICH IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMSOF THE INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TO HOLDERS; (5) THE SELECTION OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERSTO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN THE EVENT OF ANY PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (6) ANYCONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN BY DTC AS HOLDER.

STATE SUPPORT

Support Education Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK). In determining the cost of the program to SupportEducation Excellence in Kentucky (SEEK), the statewide guaranteed base funding level is computed by dividingthe amount appropriated by the prior year's statewide average daily attendance. The SEEK fund is a guaranteedamount of money per pupil in each school district of Kentucky. The current SEEK allotment is $3,827 per pupil. The $100 capital outlay allotment per each average daily attendance is included within the guaranteed amounts. Eachdistrict's base funding from the SEEK program is adjusted for the number of at-risk students, the number and typesof exceptional children in the district, and cost of transporting students from and to school in the district.

Page 14: FINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED DECEMBER 19, 2017 NEW …

Capital Outlay Allotment. The per pupil capital outlay allotment for each district from the public schoolfund and from local sources shall be kept in a separate account and may be used by the district only for capital outlayprojects approved by the State Department of Education. These funds shall be used for the following capital outlaypurposes:

a. For direct payment of construction costs.b. For debt service on voted and funding bonds.c. For payment or lease-rental agreements under which the board will eventually acquire ownership

of the school plant.d. For retirement of any deficit resulting from over-expenditure for capital construction, if such deficit

resulted from certain declared emergencies.e. As a reserve fund for the above named purposes, to be carried forward in ensuing budgets.

The allotment for each school board of education in the Commonwealth for fiscal year 1978-79 was $1,800per classroom unit. The 1979 Session of the Kentucky General Assembly approved increases in this allotment in1979-80 to $1,900 per classroom unit. This rate remained unchanged in 1980-81. The 1981 Session of the KentuckyGeneral Assembly decreased the allotment per classroom to $1,800 and this allotment rate did not change from the1981-82 rate, until the 1990-91 school year. Beginning with 1990-91, the Capital Outlay allotment for each districtis based on $100 per average daily attendance.

The following table shows the computation of the capital outlay allotment for the Boone County SchoolDistrict for certain preceding school years. Beginning 1990-91, the allotment is based on average daily attendanceas required by law.

If the school district has no capital outlay needs, upon approval from the State, the funds can be used forschool plant maintenance, repair, insurance on buildings, replacement of equipment, purchase of school buses andpurchase of modern technological equipment for educational purposes. If any district has a special levy for capitaloutlay or debt service that is equal to the capital outlay allotment or a proportionate fraction thereof, and spends theproceeds of the levy for eligible purposes, the State may authorize the district to use all or a proportionate fractionof its capital outlay allotment for current expenses (school districts which use capital outlay allotments to meetcurrent expenses are not eligible to participate in the School Facilities Construction Commission funds).

Facilities Support Program of Kentucky. School districts may be eligible to participate in the FacilitiesSupport Program of Kentucky (FSPK), subject to the following requirements:

1) The district must have unmet needs as set forth and approved by the State Department of Educationin a School Facilities Plan;

2) The district must commit to establish an equivalent tax rate of at least 5 cents, in addition to the30 cents minimum current equivalent tax rate; and,

LOCAL SUPPORT

Homestead Exemption. Section 170 of the Kentucky Constitution was amended at the General Electionheld November 2, 1971, to exempt from property taxes $6,500 of value of single unit residential property oftaxpayers 65 years of age or older. The 1972 General Assembly amended KRS Chapter 132 to permit counties andschool districts to adjust their local tax revenues lost through the application of this Homestead Exemption. The"Single Unit" qualification has been enlarged to subsequent sessions of the General Assembly to provide that suchexemption shall apply to such property maintained as the permanent resident of the owner and the dollar amount hasbeen construed to mean $6,500 in terms of the purchasing power of the dollar in 1972. Every two years thereafter,if the cost of living index of the U.S. Department of Labor has changed as much as 1%, the maximum exemptionshall be adjusted accordingly. Under the cost of living formula, the maximum was increased to $37,600 effectiveJanuary 1, 2017.

Limitation on Taxation. The 1979 Special Session of the Kentucky General Assembly enacted House Bill44 which provides that no school district may levy a general tax rate, voted general tax rate, or voted building taxrate which would generate revenues that exceeds the previous years revenues by four percent (4%).

The 1990 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly in enacting the "School Reform" legislativepackage amended the provisions of KRS 160.470 which prohibited school districts from levying ad valorem propertytaxes which would generate revenues in excess of 4% of the previous year's revenues without said levy subject torecall to permit exceptions to the referendum under (1) KRS 160.470(12) [a new section of the statute] and (2) anamended KRS 157.440.

Under KRS 160.470(12)(a) for fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990 school districts are required to levy a"minimum equivalent tax rate" of thirty cents ($.30) for general school purposes. The equivalent tax rate is definedas the rate which results when the income collected during the prior year from all taxes (including occupational orutilities) levied by the district for school purposes divided by the total assessed value of property plus the assessmentfor motor vehicles certified by the State Revenue Cabinet. Failure to levy the minimum equivalent rate subjects theboard of the district to removal.

The exception provided by KRS 157.440(1)(a) permits school districts to levy an equivalent tax rate asdefined in KRS 160.470(12)(a) which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the program tosupport education excellence in Kentucky. Levies permitted by this section of the statute are not subject to publichearing or recall provisions as set forth in KRS 160.470.

Local Thirty Cents Minimum. Effective for school years beginning after June 30, 1990, the board ofeducation of each school district shall levy a minimum equivalent tax rate of thirty cents ($0.30) for general schoolpurposes. If a board fails to comply, its members shall be subject to removal from office for willful neglect of duty.

Additional 15% Not Subject to Recall. Effective with the school year beginning July 1, 1990, each schooldistrict may levy an equivalent tax rate which will produce up to 15% of those revenues guaranteed by the SEEKprogram. Effective with the 1990-91 school year, the State will equalize the revenue generated by this levy at onehundred fifty percent (150%) of the statewide average per pupil equalized assessment. For 1993-94 and thereafter,this level is set at $225,000. The additional 15% rate levy is not subject to the public hearing or recall provisions.
