Hunton & Williams Advises on National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation – Medium-Term Notes and InterNotes® Programs

Hunton & Williams LLP advised the agents for the renewal of National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation’s (“CFC”) SEC registered Medium-Term Notes program and InterNotes® program.

CFC is a member-owned cooperative association. Its principal purpose is to provide members with financing to supplement the loan programs of the Rural Utilities Service of the United States Department of Agriculture. CFC makes loans to its rural electric members so they can acquire, construct and operate electric distribution, generation, transmission and related facilities. CFC also provides its members with credit enhancements in the form of letters of credit and guarantees of debt obligations. As a member-owned cooperative, CFC has no publicly held equity securities outstanding. CFC funds its activities primarily through a combination of publicly and privately held debt securities and member investments.

The Hunton & Williams LLP team included Michael Fitzpatrick, Adam O’Brian and Patrick Jamieson. Cary Tolley and Anna Page provided tax advice.
