(Issuing Entity)

PRICING TERM SHEET

$95,000,000 Series 2023-A Senior Secured Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds

 

Issuing entity:    Atmos Energy Kansas Securitization I, LLC (the “Issuing Entity”)
Sponsor, depositor and initial servicer:    Atmos Energy Corporation (“Atmos Energy”)
Trustee:    U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association
Sole Bookrunner:    J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
Expected Ratings (Moody’s/Fitch):    Aaa (sf)/ AAAsf(1)
Closing Date / Settlement Date   

June 20, 2023 (T+6)

 

We expect to deliver the securitized utility tariff bonds against payment for the securitized utility tariff bonds on or about the date specified in the last paragraph of the cover page of the final prospectus, which will be the sixth business day following the date of pricing of the securitized utility tariff bonds. Since trades in the secondary market generally settle in two business days, purchasers who wish to trade securitized utility tariff bonds on the date of pricing or the succeeding three business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the securitized utility tariff bonds initially will settle in T + 6, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

Payment dates(2):    March 1 and September 1, commencing March 1, 2024
Applicable Time:    2:32 P.M. (Eastern time) on June 9, 2023
Proceeds:    The total initial price to the public is $94,983,337. The total amount of the underwriting discount and commission is $500,000. The total amount of proceeds to the Issuing Entity before deduction of expenses (estimated to be $4.45 million) is $94,483,337.
Initial securitized utility tariff charge as a percentage of average residential customer’s total gas bill:    Atmos Energy estimates that on an annualized basis the initial securitized utility tariff charges would represent approximately 7% of the total bill received by an average residential customer based on rates as of March 31, 2023

For the purposes of preparing the chart above, the following assumptions, among others, have been made: (i) the forecast error is constant over the life of the securitized utility tariff bonds and is equal to an overestimate of retail customer counts of 5% (11.89 standard deviations from the mean) or 15% (40.14 standard deviations from the mean) as stated in the chart above, (ii) the servicer makes timely and accurate filings to true-up the securitized utility tariff charges semi-annually, (iii) retail customers remit all securitized utility tariff charges 30 days after such charges are billed, (iv) the securitized utility tariff bonds are issued on June 20, 2023, (v) there is no acceleration of the final maturity date of the securitized utility tariff bonds, and (vi) operating expenses are equal to projections. There can be no assurance that the weighted average lives of the securitized utility tariff bonds will be as shown above.

The Underwriter’s Sales Price for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds

The securitized utility tariff bonds sold by the underwriter to the public will be initially offered at the prices to the public set forth in the prospectus. The underwriter proposes initially to offer the securitized utility tariff bonds to dealers at such prices, less a selling concession not to exceed the percentage listed below. The underwriter may allow, and dealers may reallow, a discount not to exceed the percentage listed below.
