Proceeds description

The net proceeds will be used to refund two bonds relating to The Morton Arboretum
project and to pay termination costs of its swap agreement.

Climate Bonds view

CBI welcomes this self-labelled green bond that will refinance the lending to the Morton
Arboretum, but recommends external reviews and continuous reporting. Compared toother municipal bonds that fund essential services, this green bond invests in researchingand studying in trees. CBI is keen to see increased funding channelling into the Land Use &Agriculture category that promote environmental conservation and protection towards agreener future.
