Bond Proceeds Will Fund Projects Across Multiple Agencies and Refund State-Supported Debt.
The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) priced $2.1 billion in New York State Personal Income Tax Revenue Bonds. Bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the State for expenditures made on various capital projects across multiple agencies and to refund certain outstanding State-supported debt. The negotiated sale was led by Ramirez and Co., Inc. with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan as co-senior managers. The Authority sold tax-exempt Series 2026A Bonds and taxable Series 2026B Bonds.
During the retail order period on Monday, March 9, approximately $1 billion in orders were placed. Following the very successful retail order period, the transaction received an additional $2.35 billion in institutional orders. As a result of the strong retail and institutional demand and resulting oversubscriptions, DASNY elected to upsize the transaction to include the refunding of $448 million Build America Bonds increasing the size of the financing from $1.6 billion to $2.1 billion. Yields on the tax-exempt transaction range from 2.19% to 4.68%. Yields on the taxable bonds were 3.65% and 3.70%.
The bond proceeds will reimburse capital spending for agencies and programs including:
The bond proceeds will also be used to refund Empire State Development State Personal Income Tax Revenue Bonds Series 2016A (Tax-Exempt).
Public Resources Advisory Group and Backstrom McCarley Berry & Co. served as Financial Advisors. Nixon Peabody and Bryant Rabbino served as Co-Bond Counsel.
Personal Income Tax Revenue Bonds are issued periodically for various capital purposes and are supported by a portion of the State's Personal Income Tax revenues. The bonds are expected to close on March 18, 2026.
