Bonds are offered only by the related official statement, copies of which are available from your broker. You should consult your investment advisor for further details. Commissions and fees vary by firms. The Airports Authority is not permitted to provide investment advice. The Securities and Exchange Commission regulates securities firms, financial markets and investment advisors.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority’s fixed-rate bonds are generally issued in $5,000 denominations as fully registered book-entry bonds, without physical certificates or coupons. Bond transactions are recorded in electronic computerized book entry form by the Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), a New York limited purpose trust company and member of the Federal Reserve System. DTC is a registered clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and holds securities for participants. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. Purchase of the book entry bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through the direct participants who will receive a credit for the bonds on DTCs computerized records. The direct or indirect participants are, in turn, responsible for keeping accurate records of their individual clients' holdings and issuing written transaction confirmations and periodic account statements to the individual clients. Under this system, individual bondholders do not receive physical certificates representing their ownership of the bonds but should receive account statements of their holdings from their securities broker.
