Project) Series 2015R-1 issued on August 27, 2015 and Series 2015R-2 issued on April 2, 2018 (collectively, the “Bonds”). The Bonds were originally issued in the aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million and have a final maturity of August 1, 2035. It is expected that $1.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds will be redeemed by Casella on August 1, 2025 with cash on hand, and the remaining $29.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds (the “Remarketed Bonds”) will be remarketed on such date. Pursuant to the indenture under which the Bonds were offered (the “Indenture”), the interest rate periods under which the Bonds were previously issued expire on July 31, 2025, and accordingly, the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender on August 1, 2025. Casella expects that the Bonds will be remarketed on August 1, 2025 at a new interest rate of 5.000% per annum for a new interest rate period commencing on August 1, 2025 and ending on July 31, 2035.

The Bonds have been, and the Remarketed Bonds will be, guaranteed by all or substantially all of Casella’s subsidiaries, as required pursuant to the terms of the financing agreement pursuant to which the Issuer loaned the proceeds of the Bonds to Casella. The Bonds and the Remarketed Bonds are not a general obligation of the Issuer and do not constitute an indebtedness of or a charge against the general credit of the Issuer. The Bonds and the Remarketed Bonds are not a debt of the State of Maine and are payable solely from amounts received from Casella under the terms of the Indenture.

The Remarketed Bonds are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Remarketed Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Remarketed Bonds, nor shall there be any sale of the Remarketed Bonds in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
