SFS Knows
Healthcare Finance

The following case studies demonstrate the depth and breadth of our
healthcare solutions.

Case Study
During difficult financial times, SFS provided $19.5 million in tax-
exempt financing to a new hospital in Silicon Valley, California.
The five-year financing enabled the hospital to be equipped with
state-of-the-art diagnostic technology that will help improve patient
treatment at this facility.

Case Study
Due to the collapse of the bond market in 2008, a 238-bed not-for-
profit acute-care hospital in Pennsylvania was at risk of canceling
several acquisitions of imaging equipment. SFS offered a fair-market
value lease that achieved off-balance sheet treatment, an important
criteria for their financing.

Case Study
A leading US respiratory hospital and research center, which was
acquiring a variety of advanced imaging and image management
technology, needed its financing to be on a tax-exempt basis. A
method for charge-back to internal departments for the cost of
the equipment was also required. SFS structured a $13 million
tax-exempt lease for which the financing was on multiple lease
schedules to facilitate hospital charge-back needs.

SFS Knows
Energy Finance
Funding projects to help meet the demands of a growing energy
market requires the financial backing of a company that knows the
energy industry inside and out. As one of the world’s top manufacturers
of power generation equipment, Siemens seamlessly combines
industry know-how along with financial expertise to make innovative
energy projects a reality today.

Our energy finance team combines extensive financial expertise with
behind-the-scenes industry knowledge. SFS financing professionals
each bring 20+ years of on-the-job engineering and operational
experience to each deal.

SFS offers customers access to a reliable and stable source of capital.
Through secured first- and second-lien financings, as well as mezzanine
capital, our team can help efficiently address everyday business
challenges that are faced in the energy, infrastructure, and natural
resources sectors.

Case Study
SFS recently funded and underwrote a $42.5 million senior term loan
for the holding company that indirectly owns a power plant in New
Mexico. As the sole capital provider in this holding company financing
structure, the original operating company debt was not impacted.
Using this approach, SFS was able to demonstrate our unique capability
to ideally serve the customer’s needs.

Case Study
An owner and operator of a wind-powered electricity generation
facility found significant value in the ability to obtain both capital and
an innovative product solution from Siemens. While Siemens Energy
provided the wind turbine equipment, as well as a five-year warranty,
SFS committed a $35 million senior secured term loan, creating a
one-stop-shop for the customer.

Case Study
Leveraging our established relationship with a large US power
company, SFS and a major project finance bank acted as joint lead
arrangers on a $90 million loan for a power plant in Colorado. As
co-lead, SFS provided a $45 million term loan to support the power
company’s refinancing of the facility.

SFS Knows
Industry Finance

The following case studies demonstrate solutions for the
industry sector:

Case Study
A large US utility needed financing to acquire additional rail cars for
transportation of coal to its coal-fired electric generating facilities. SFS
delivered a 15-year, $17.3 million structured tax lease solution with a
service component, allowing the company to acquire the additional
rail cars. This structure also enabled the company to centralize the
disbursement of payments for rail car maintenance services.

Case Study
A municipality began a project financed by a revenue bond to build
a new water-treatment facility. The project was over budget and the
municipality needed to finance the cost overruns as well as the original
revenue bond to be able to complete the project. SFS structured a
private placement general obligation bond enabling the municipality
to continue the project and work with Siemens Water Technologies
(SWT) as vendor of choice. SFS financing of $4.9 million included the
cost overruns, SWT equipment, and a refinance of the previously issued
revenue bonds, allowing the municipality to complete the project on
time and without additional cost increases.

Case Study
A US steel company engaged Siemens Voest Alpine Industries (VAI)
for onsite maintenance and service of its mill facility. SFS structured
a 15-year, $3 million creative financing solution for Siemens VAI by
identifying and taking advantage of local tax incentives, making it
possible for the customer to secure long-term, on-site, maintenance
and service contract with the company.
