As a result, Stifel's underwriter, Ben Stern, developed a <br />marketing program that targeted these investors. Stifel's sales staff highlighted the strong rating for <br />the bonds, the "essential service" nature of the Water System and the City's strong financial <br />position. Investors were very responsive to the "City's position ". Based on strong early feedback <br />from the sales force on the morning of the bond pricing, Mr. Stern took an aggressive approach by <br />lowering interest rates by .05% (5 basis points) when we formally released the bonds to the sales <br />force on July 22. By lowering interest rates by the 5 basis points for the 2017 -2022 maturities it <br />saved the City hundreds of thousands of dollars. <br />The graph below demonstrates the extent to which the bonds were strongly received and how <br />orders outweighed what was available. <br />$ in Millions <br />$6 Total Par: $15,690,000 <br />$5 - ■ Total Orders: $41,960,000 <br />Oversubscribtion:2.7x's <br />$4 <br />$3 <br />$2 <br />$1 <br />� Orders Y= Par <br />20152016201720182019202020212022202320242025202620272028202920302031 <br />Maturity Year <br />19F -2 <br />
