Rationale for Issuance of new Bonds

Portfolio III debt is comprised of 2 commercial bank lines of credit for MGAG and 3 lines for PGP Pool 3

2 series of short-term Notes with one maturing every 6 months, and

2 issues of 10-year amortizing bonds, 1 each by MGAG and PGP

Issuance of new Gas Authority Bonds

Reduces reliance on bank lines of credit and market access for additional Short-term Notes Reduces total line of credit borrowings by $40 million and ST Notes by $10 million

Takes advantage of current historically low interest rate environment Converts variable rate obligations to fixed rates over 5-year term

Maintains reasonable cash-flow flexibility over estimated lives of gas reserves Intermediate term allows for repayment or refinancing as required by future project

development and net cash flows

Utilizes Gas Authority’s higher credit rating minimizing project interest costs
