PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED MARCH 28, 2013
Ratings: Fitch: Moodys: S&P:
NEW ISSUE — BOOK ENTRY ONLY See “RATINGS” herein
In the opinion of Bond Counsel to the Authority, under existing law, interest on the Series 2013 Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, such interest is taken into account in determining “adjusted current earnings” for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. Such opinion assumes continuing compliance by the Authority and the New Jersey Department of Human Services (“DHS”) with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Series 2013 Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel is also of the opinion that interest on the Series 2013 Bonds and any gain realized on the sale of any Series 2013 Bonds is not includable in gross income under the existing New Jersey Gross Income Tax Act. See “TAX MATTERS” herein.

Pursuant to and in accordance with a certain Lease dated as of December 1, 2003 between DHS and the Authority (the “Lease”), DHS has leased its possessory rights to certain lands of which it holds fee title interest (hereafter, the “Leased Property”), to the Authority. In turn, pursuant to a certain Sublease and Agreement between the Authority and DHS dated as of December 1, 2003 (the “Original Agreement”), as amended and supplemented by an Amendment to Agreement and Sublease, dated as of April 1, 2013 (the “2013 Amendment,” which collectively with the Original Agreement are the “Agreement”), the Authority has subleased the Leased Property to DHS. The Agreement provides for the payment of Basic Rent (as defined herein) by DHS to the Authority in amounts at least equal to the amount necessary, when combined with other moneys available therefor under the Indenture, to pay, when due, the debt service on the Series 2013 Bonds, and any Additional Bonds authorized under (each as hereinafter defined) and secured by the Indenture (the “Basic Rent”).
