  【Worldway Major Good News】 Worldway's U.S. investment immigration EB-5 project has received more good news! Recently, it was learned from the project party that the financial performance of the California Solar EB-5 project, represented by Worldway, remains robust and strong as of June 2017, and has continuously made new progress.






  On June 6, 2017, Fitch Ratings, a top rating, commentary, and research agency, completed the rating of the California Solar EB-5 project company—(Genesis Solar LLC) $852 million in debt ($419.6 million in outstanding debt):


  ● $561.6 million (remaining $321.6 million unpaid), Class A trust certificate financing, interest 3.875% (guaranteed by U.S. sovereign government agency loans), maturing in 2038, rated AAA; rating outlook stable


  ● $120 million (remaining $14.08 million unpaid), bank loan, floating rate (guaranteed by U.S. sovereign government agency loans), maturing in 2019, rated AAA; rating outlook stable


  ● $140.4 million (remaining $80.4 million unpaid), Class B trust securities financing, interest 5.125% (no loan guarantee), maturing in 2038, rating upgraded from BBB+ to A-; rating outlook stable


  ● $30 million (remaining $3.52 million unpaid), bank loan, floating rate (no loan guarantee), maturing in 2019, rating upgraded from BBB+ to A-; rating outlook stable


  In 2016, the California Solar EB-5 project had a strong debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 2.58 times the operating company's (Opco) debt. The financial forecasts of the above company exceeded expectations, with revenue growth of 7.5% compared to Fitch's basic forecast, primarily driven by a 4.4% increase in solar resource quantity and high equipment utilization. Revenue in the first quarter of 2017 has already exceeded expectations by 10%.


  In 2016, the operational performance of the California Solar EB-5 project was also strong, with total electricity generation exceeding Fitch's basic capacity forecast by 6.4%; ample solar resources ensured strong power output, with project generation in the first quarter of 2017 continuing to exceed Fitch's baseline budget expectations by 8.5%.
