IRS Examination of 2009 Bonds
On March 4, 2013, the Maine Educational Loan Authority (the “Authority”) received a letter, dated
March 1, 2013 (the “Letter”), from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) requesting information and
documents for an examination of the Authority’s compliance with federal tax requirements with respect to the
bonds listed below (collectively, the “2009 Bonds”). The 2009 Bonds were issued on May 27, 2009; certain of
the 2009 Bonds (denoted in italicized, underlined text below) matured prior to the date of this material event
notice.
Portions of the Letter also request information with respect to the Authority’s $26,925,000 Student Loan
Revenue & Refunding Bonds (CUSIP numbers 56040PAE8, 56040PAF5 and 56040PAG3) (collectively, the
“2002 Bonds”), as certain of the 2009 Bonds refunded certain of the 2002 Bonds. The 2002 Bonds were issued
on November 15, 2002 and are no longer outstanding – the 2002 Bonds associated with CUSIP 56040PAE8
matured on June 1, 2005, the 2002 Bonds associated with CUSIP 56040PAF5 matured on May 1, 2009 and the
2002 Bonds associated with CUSIP 56040PAG3 were refunded with proceeds of certain of the 2009 Bonds.
The Letter requests that documentation be provided by April 1, 2013. The Letter also notes that the IRS
has no reason at this time to believe that the Authority’s 2009 Bonds fail to comply with applicable federal tax
requirements, but that the IRS does reserve the right to expand the examination to any aspect of the Authority’s
debt issuance. The Authority will cooperate with the IRS’ examination of the 2009 Bonds.
