Identifying Information

For virtually every municipal security found on EMMA, the following data elements are provided, to the extent applicable: issuer name, security description, CUSIP number, dated date, maturity date, interest rate, principal amount and initial offering price, among other data elements. Portions of this data are provided by broker-dealers and banks submitting documents and data to the MSRB, while other portions are provided by certain third-party sources, including the CUSIP Service Bureau (operated by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC on behalf of the American Bankers Association (“ABA”)).

The CUSIP Service Bureau and the ABA assert that the CUSIP Database, including CUSIP numbers, CUSIP standard securities descriptions and other data, are and shall remain valuable intellectual property of the CUSIP Service Bureau and the ABA, and EMMA users acknowledge and agree that no proprietary rights are being transferred to EMMA users in such materials or in any of the information contained therein. Such information is provided on EMMA solely for the purpose of identifying municipal securities as an integral part of EMMA’s trade price and rate information and to which the documents provided on EMMA are related. No other use of such information is granted by the MSRB, Standard & Poor’s, the CUSIP Service Bureau or the ABA. EMMA users agree not to use such information for any other purpose. Redissemination of such information is strictly subject to the Terms of Use. Further, EMMA users agree that the use of such information is not intended to create or maintain, and does not serve the purpose of the creation or maintenance of, a file of CUSIP numbers or standard securities descriptions, and is not intended to create and does not serve in any way as a substitute for any CUSIP subscription services now or in the future offered by the CUSIP Service Bureau.

For some securities, some or all of the securities-specific information made available on EMMA is derived from Standard & Poor’s SECURITIES DATAMANAGER. Such information is provided on EMMA solely for the purpose of identifying municipal securities as an integral part of EMMA’s trade price and rate information and to which the documents provided on EMMA are related. No other use of such information is granted by the MSRB or Standard & Poor’s. EMMA users agree not to use such information for any other purpose. Redissemination of such information is strictly subject to the Terms of Use. Further, EMMA users agree that the use of such information is not intended to create or maintain, and does not serve the purpose of the creation or maintenance of, a file of such securities-specific information, and is not intended to create and does not serve in any way as a substitute for any SECURITIES DATAMANAGER subscription services now or in the future offered by Standard & Poor’s.

Trade Price And Interest Rate Information

Broker-dealers and banks that trade municipal securities are required to submit to the MSRB, through its Real-Time Transaction Reporting System (“RTRS”), basic information about each trade, including the price at which such trade was effected. In addition, broker-dealers and banks that serve as program dealers for municipal auction rate securities or as remarketing agents for municipal variable rate demand obligations are required to submit to the MSRB, through its Short-term Obligation Rate Transparency (“SHORT”) system, basic information about each auction or remarketing, including the interest rate set for the next rate period. This price and rate information is combined with securities identifying information for display on EMMA.

Market Statistics

The MSRB’s research unit uses the data obtained from broker-dealers and banks through RTRS, together with securities identifying information and certain additional data elements from SECURITIES DATAMANAGER, to derive statistics with respect to trading in the municipal securities market for display on EMMA.

Credit Ratings

MSRB’s EMMA website displays ratings for municipal securities currently assigned by Fitch Ratings, Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc., Moody’s (as defined below) and Standard and Poor’s (S&P) based on their agreement to make them available to the public through the EMMA website. EMMA USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT RATINGS INFORMATION APPEARING ON THE EMMA WEBSITE IS CURRENT AS OF THE “LAST UPDATED” DATE AND TIME INDICATED ON THE EMMA WEBSITE, AND THE MSRB TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR INDEPENDENTLY VERIFYING THE ACCURACY OR TIMELINESS OF THE RATINGS INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE RATING AGENCIES THROUGH THEIR DATA FEEDS. THE EMMA WEBSITE DISPLAYS ONLY THE CURRENT RATINGS INFORMATION FOR ANY SECURITY AND DOES NOT DISPLAY HISTORICAL RATINGS INFORMATION. Thus, if the rating for a municipal security has been changed by a rating agency, the prior rating will no longer be accessible through the EMMA website. At times, rating agencies may take rating actions that are not immediately included in the data feeds but may instead be released initially through other means, such as a press release or spreadsheet posted on their websites. To view any potential rating action that may have been taken by a rating agency on a municipal security since the last update received by EMMA, or to understand the meaning of the ratings and other information provided by each rating agency, please refer to the information available on those agencies’ websites.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation (“MCO”), hereby discloses that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. for appraisal and rating services rendered by it fees ranging from $1,500 to approximately $2,500,000. MCO and MIS also maintain policies and procedures to address the independence of MIS’s ratings and rating processes. Information regarding certain affiliations that may exist between directors of MCO and rated entities, and between entities who hold ratings from MIS and have also publicly reported to the SEC an ownership interest in MCO of more than 5%, is posted annually at www.moodys.com under the heading “Investor Relations — Corporate Governance — Director and Shareholder Affiliation Policy.”

Additional terms for Australia only: Any publication into Australia of MOODY’S credit ratings and MOODY’S publications is pursuant to the Australian Financial Services License of MOODY’S affiliate, Moody’s Investors Service Pty Limited ABN 61 003 399 657AFSL 336969 and/or Moody’s Analytics Australia Pty Ltd ABN 94 105 136 972 AFSL 383569 (as applicable). MOODY’S credit ratings and MOODY’S publications are intended to be provided only to “wholesale clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. By continuing to access MOODY’s information displayed on the Website from within Australia, you represent to MOODY’S that you are, or are accessing this information as a representative of, a “wholesale client” and that neither you nor the entity you represent will directly or indirectly disseminate this information or its contents to “retail clients” within the meaning of section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001. MOODY’S credit rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a debt obligation of the issuer, not on the equity securities of the issuer or any form of security that is available to retail investors. It would be reckless and inappropriate for retail investors to use MOODY’S credit ratings or publications when making an investment decision. If in doubt you should contact your financial or other professional adviser.

Additional terms for Japan only: Moody's Japan K.K. (“MJKK”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of Moody's Group Japan G.K., which is wholly-owned by Moody’s Overseas Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MCO. Moody’s SF Japan K.K. (“MSFJ”) is a wholly-owned credit rating agency subsidiary of MJKK. MSFJ is not a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). Therefore, credit ratings assigned by MSFJ are Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings. Non-NRSRO Credit Ratings are assigned by an entity that is not a NRSRO and, consequently, the rated obligation will not qualify for certain types of treatment under U.S. laws. MJKK and MSFJ are credit rating agencies registered with the Japan Financial Services Agency and their registration numbers are FSA Commissioner (Ratings) No. 2 and 3 respectively.

MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) hereby disclose that most issuers of debt securities (including corporate and municipal bonds, debentures, notes and commercial paper) and preferred stock rated by MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) have, prior to assignment of any rating, agreed to pay to MJKK or MSFJ (as applicable) for appraisal and rating services rendered by it fees ranging from JPY200,000 to approximately JPY350,000,000.

MJKK and MSFJ also maintain policies and procedures to address Japanese regulatory requirements.
