HOUSTON, TX — METRO's name was in lights to celebrate a Wall Street deal that means $72.3 million in savings for the Authority. The successful pricing of its 2020A bonds for $304 million capitalized on market conditions to maximize savings on debt repayment.

"This savings deal is exciting and reflects METRO's financial stability today and into the future," said METRO President & CEO Tom Lambert.

The successful refunding comes just days after KBRA and S&P Global assigned AAA ratings and Stable outlooks to METRO's 2020A bonds.

Morgan Stanley was the lead underwriter and PFM, LLC served as the financial adviser for the transaction.
