BACKGROUND

Well-Spring Retirement Community, Inc.

Proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, in an amount not-to-exceed $27,000,000, will be loaned to the Corporation to (1) finance facilities, including but not limited to the expansion and renovation of the Corporation’s continuing retirement center at 4100 Well Spring Drive, Greensboro, North Carolina to include approximately 24 new independent living apartments and related improvements (collectively, the “Project”) and (2) pay certain expenses in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Bonds. The Project will be initially owned and operated by the Corporation.
The Bonds will be special limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from the loan repayments to be made by the Corporation to the Authority, and certain funds and accounts established by the bond indenture for the Bonds. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will not constitute an indebtedness or liability of the County of Guilford, the State of North Carolina, or any political subdivision of the State of North Carolina, or a charge against their general credit or any taxing powers.
