ROSEHILL CHRISTIAN SCHOOL REALIZES SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS THROUGH A TAX-EXEMPT REFUNDING

By

Rosehill Christian School logoTomball, Texas (February 2023) – The Rosehill Christian School announces the closing of a $6.9 million tax-exempt refunding note. This refunding note replaces the original taxable loan which was used for facility construction, land acquisition, and multiple campus renovations. The refunding converted the school’s taxable loan to a tax-exempt note by utilizing a conduit financing structure specifically designed for 501(c)(3) entities. This structure not only reduced the school’s interest costs, but also allowed the school to secure a long-term fixed-interest rate which eliminates the school’s risks associated with the previous loan’s adjustable interest rate.

Government Capital, Southlake, Texas, provided the tax-exempt refunding structure to meet the specific needs of the school. Additionally, Government Capital handled all of the conduit structuring required by IRS provisions along with analyzing the current market conditions to provide the most optimal financial structures.

“The tax-exempt refunding will provide significant benefits to our school and positions us to obtain more competitive financing options in the future as our school continues to grow,” commented Lauren Dyal, Head of School, Rosehill Christian School. “Prior to our introduction to this conduit structure, our school was unaware a tax-exempt financing option was available to schools such as ours.”

“I’d like to congratulate Lauren Dyal and the entire Rosehill Christian School staff on a successful closing,” stated Zac Saldi, Vice President, Governmental Capital Corporation.  “We take great pride in serving Texas private and parochial schools and assisting them in meeting their financial goals and objectives.”
